Specifically the capability of retailers to keep it in stock. Initially, Sony expected PS5 stock issues to continue for just a few months.<br \/>\nAfter the first of the year though, Sony confirmed that it expected the supply to be low until sometime after April or May of this year. Now, Sony is confirming that it expects the supply to remain low for a lot longer than people were expecting.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve been having trouble finding a console, you may find that challenge sticks around for a while. To your dismay. Right from the jump, PS5 pre-orders, and orders after its launch have been accompanied by low supply. So a lot of consumers were vying for the same low number of units.<br \/>\nThis problem was further compounded by scalpers using bot programs to snake as many as they could and resell the units at hundreds and even thousands above the regular retail price of $499. This issue should have been over with by now. But it appears that isn\u2019t going to be the case.<br \/>\nSony says PS5 stock issues will continue into 2022<br \/>\nIt\u2019s only just now getting to the point that PS5 units were supposed to start leveling out. Making them much easier to get for a lot of people trying to buy one.<br \/>\nBut a new report from Bloomberg, speaking to Sony, states that demand for the PS5 console is still very high. And Sony doesn\u2019t expect that demand to wane anytime soon. While no exact dates were given, Sony believes that supply will remain low well into 2022.<br \/>\nWhich means consumers still on the hunt for the elusive console will want to be as diligent as ever in trying to secure a purchase.<br \/>\nSony doesn\u2019t think it can meet demand in the short term<br \/>\nThe expectation, or perhaps the hope, was that Sony would eventually be able to catch up to the demand from users. Sony has already sold almost 8 million of the PS5 since it launched in November of 2020. But Sony says that even if it were able to get its hands on more supplies and produce more units, it doesn\u2019t think it could meet demand righty away.<br \/>\nWhat matters, for the consumer, is that supply problems aren\u2019t going anywhere. For the first full year of the PS5\u2019s life cycle, it will be hard to get one. And it will continue to be hard to get going into its second year after launch.<br \/>\nThe post PS5 Stock Issues Will Unfortunately Continue For Quite Some Time appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sony-PS5-Review-2-1.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the beginning of its time on the market, the PS5 has had issues with stock.
