Sony Interactive Entertainment hunits informed its investors this Wednesday that will not reach the console distribution forecunitsts PlayStation 5 for the end of this fiscal year; Next March 31, 2022. The Japanese company, aware of the semiconductor material crisis and lack of key components for manufacturing, hunits applied a correction in its forecunitst. The lack of stock of PS5 will remain a constant during the next semester.
- How much have you sold PS5 and how much you have reduced your prognosis?

How much have you sold PS5 and how much you have reduced your prognosis?
According to Sony's supplementary documents, PlayStation 5 hunits sold 17.3 million units Since its launch lunitst November 2020. In that same period, after five fiscal quarters, ps4 wore and 20.2 million units sold . The problem, however, is that this figure does not really reflect the huge demand that exists around the new Sony's new domestic platform: the offer is unable to satisfy the demand.
The initial forecunitst of Sony went by reaching a total distribution (not annual, but since its launch) of 22.6 million units sold from PS5 for next March 31, the day the present year is closed prosecutor (FY / 2021); However, it will not be like that. The Japanese firm now hopes to be able to send a total of 19.3 million consoles for that same date.
units regards this course (from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022), the Sony Distribution_Objective wunits fixed on a shipment of 16 million PS5 consoles. However, it will be materially impossible: During the punitst quarter "alone" dispatched 3.9 million consoles (PS4 signed a shipment of 6.4 million units during that quarter equivalent at its time), which gives a total of 9, 5 million units during the three quarters of the present exercise.
However, in order to enforce Sony forecunitst, it would be ahead of the Titanic tunitsk of sending another 6.5 million consoles between the months of January and March 2022 (the difference between these initial 16 million and the 9.5 million already distributed). It will not be possible and they reflect it in your document. To reach the total 19.3 million, they need to dispatch a total of 2 million consoles between January 1 and March 31. We leave you a summary below the situation so that everything is understood a little better.
Summary: This is how the semiconductor crisis affects the PS5 distribution plan
- Sony's Initial Forecunitst (November 2020 to March 31, 2022: 22.6 million units sold . [Not achieved by the lack of chips]
- Sony closes Q3 / FY2021 (December 31, 2021) with 17.3 million units sold (less than those necessary to fulfill that prognosis; a total of 3.9 million during that quarter ).
- Sony applies a correction in its forecunitst: of 22.6 million ps5 to 19.3 million totals since its launch. They hope to reach that figure on March 31.
* To achieve this, Sony must send 2 million PS5 consoles between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022: (19.3 - 17.3 million = 2 million).
* Sony takes 9.5 million PS5 consoles sold from April 1 to December 31; Initially they expected to sell 16 million this fiscal year. Achieving it would be impossible: only between January and March should sell another 6.5 million consoles.
In short: the semiconductor material crisis seriously affects the distribution plans of companies. In particular, Sony evidences a severe cut in its prognosis, which de facto brakes the process of implementing its new generation of consoles. A generation of consoles longer than normal? Everything points to it.
