In case you haven’t noticed, PlayStation 5s are a little bit difficult to find right now. They’re out of stock in most stores, and laying hands on one is treated with the same intense focus as a big game hunt. As you’d expect, these shortages are a subject of many complaints directed towards manufacturer Sony. The company has previously stated it wants to increase the number of consoles made available, but a new report suggests it may be having supply issues for quite some time. Bloomberg reported on a briefing

Nintendo admits to “uncertainty” about their production plans. On Thursday, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Switch has sold nearly 85 million units. The company shipped 28.83 million Switch units in the fiscal year ending in 2021 and that the company expects to ship 25.50 million in the current one, which ends on March 31, 2022. Should Nintendo accomplish that goal, the Switch will pass the Wii to become the best-selling Nintendo console of all time, and the 5th best-selling video game system, behind only the PS4, GameBoy, Nintendo DS, and

“Can we drastically increase the supply? No, that’s not likely,” says Sony’s Hiroki Totoki. New consoles are always in high demand, but the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are seeing supply shortages the likes of which we haven’t seen all that often. The COVID-19 pandemic has been largely responsible for that, with the disruption of manufacturing and supply lines, as well as a global shortage of components, resulting in supply of hardware being unable to satisfy the high demand almost everywhere. But how long is that expected to continue? Many

Its software numbers are pretty strong as well. As Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel “ZhugeEX” Ahmad pointed out on Twitter, 338.9 million games have been sold for the PS4 and PS5 in the past fiscal year ending on March 31 2021. About 65 percent or 220 million of that number was digital. This is higher than the previous

Today, during Sony’s quarterly conference call for investors and analysts, chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki talked about the forecast for the current fiscal year, between April 2021 and March 2022. Totoki-san admitted that in the past fiscal year, Sony has not managed to keep up with the extremely strong demand for PS5 and shortages for the supply of components — especially semiconductors — are expected to continue in the current fiscal year. That being said, the current target is still to exceed the 14.8 million units shipped by the PS4 in its second

GPU Shortages Are Now IntolerablePhoto by Caspar Camille Rubin on UnsplashAfter prioritizing the GTX 1650 GPU for notebooks, Nvidia is extending the availability of GTX 1650 cards to the desktop consumer market. This is excellent news. Since the GPU market is currently so hot, it is now better to consider old reliable cards like the R9 290 or R9 290X if gamers are backed up in the corner. This may be a long haul before this “GPU crisis” ends, so the increased availability of low-cost cards will allow people to

Getting your hands on a new Xbox isn’t going to get easier any time soon.
