Sony Reportedly Slashing PlayStation 5 Production 26% This Year
Sony (NYSE: SNE) won't be able to meet demand for its new PlayStation 5 gaming console because chip production issues are causing it to slash the number of units it produces this year by 26%, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
Bloomberg says production yields for its system on a chip, the core processing unit of the next-generation system that was designed with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), have fallen as low as 50%, meaning half of the chips produced were of such poor quality that they were discarded during the manufacturing process.
So rather than the 15 million units that Sony was expected to ship this year, the news outlet says only 11 million will now be produced.
