After that Microsoft products has revealed almost all the secrets about his two new ones Xbox series s e Xbox Series X, everyone's attention is now, as expected, focused on PlayStation 5, the next-gen platform of Sony. The console, whose price and actual release date are still unknown, has several elements still immersed in the mystery and waiting to discover new information about the platform during the course of the ShowCase to be held tomorrow, we have to register some rumors that would see the Japanese giant in difficulty regarding the production of its flagship.
This is stated by the well-known financial portal Bloomberg who, based on some indiscretions collected from their sources close to Sony circles, explained that the initial production plan Sony may not be able to be respected due to some complications due to a particular chip. According to the report, the offending component has one production yield of 50% and therefore, in other words, many of these chips are showing up defective, forcing Sony to produce fewer PlayStation 5 units. Although Bloomberg claims that the production of these chips and their yields are slowly increasing, at present it is not possible to know if the Japanese company will be able to solve its problems before launch, however expected for the end of this year.
However, it seems difficult to think that Sony will be able to maintain the previously assumed production levels, which would have guaranteed the global availability of at least 10 million units by the end of March 2021. The portal states that by the end of this fiscal year, production could only be about 4 million of PlayStation 5, for the problems mentioned above. The company has not commented on this information so we advise you, as every time we deal with rumors not officially confirmed by the parent company, to take this news with due precautions.
