“We have sold more than 100 million units of the PlayStation 4 and considering our market share and reputation, I can’t imagine demand dropping easily.”

If Sony want to surpass PS4 sales, they will have to considerably crank up manufacturing on the next-gen consoles.

The shortage has been mainly caused by a struggle to gather needed parts for the consoles such as semiconductors. This shortage has also affected the production of Nintendo Switch consoles which players have also been struggling to locate over the last year.
