Po recima PC magazina od 16.09: Sony Says There Are No PlayStation 5 Production Problems
UPDATE 9/16: Sony has since responded to the claims of production problems for the PS5 in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz. Sony said, "While we do not release details related to manufacturing, the information provided by Bloomberg is false ... We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5 since the start of mass production."
It means that Sony isn't reducing output due to problems with the PS5 SoC and therefore should hit what's thought to be a 15 million console production target by the end of the fiscal year. That's good news for anyone planning to pick up a PS5 over the holiday period.
Original Story 9/15:
It looks as though Sony won't just be fighting Microsoft this holiday season when the PS5 launches alongside the Xbox Series X. Sony's own production line is proving problematic and looks set to limit how many consoles can be made available.
As Bloomberg reports, "people familiar with the matter" are claiming yields for the PS5's system on a chip (SoC) are thought to be as low as 50 percent. If half the chips coming off the production line aren't usable, it's quickly going to eat into the total number of machines that can be produced for launch and beyond. In real terms, the poor yields are expected to reduce Sony's output from 15 million consoles this fiscal year down to 11 million. For some perspective, in the first six weeks on sale in late 2013, the PS4 shifted 4.2 million units. By the end of the fiscal year in March 2014, that total had reached 7 million units. So this is by no means a disaster for Sony even if the PS5 proves extremely popular.
