- Nearly 55 million PlayStation 5 units have been shipped to date
- The console has entered the late stages of its life cycle
- At least according to Sony's senior vice president
- Therefore sales will decrease
It's almost unbelievable (at least to me) that over three years ago, on November 12, 2020, to be precise, that… PlayStation 5She will be four years old this fall Sony The device, which many still refer to as the “next generation” console. Well, this statement is not so completely true that the device has now received a new livery (read: release), and in addition, 54.8 million units have been delivered so far. Senior Vice President of Sony, Naomi Matsuoka went straight to the point of declaring: A PS5 It has entered the late stages of its life cycle.
“Looking ahead, we believe the PS5 is late in its life cycle.” Matsuoka told Bloomberg. “As a result, we will focus more on balancing profitability and sales, and we expect the pace of annual hardware sales to start declining from next fiscal year.” he added. It's important to note that in Sony's public report, they word it somewhat differently, saying that the PlayStation 5 is entering the “second half” of its cycle. So there's no need to worry that the device might be retired next year, and in fact, it will work well for years to come – hopefully with the Pro version, which has been rumored several times. I'm happy to say that Sony isn't planning to release a single PlayStation game based on its own franchise until April 2025, so don't expect a huge success within the company like… Marvel Spider-Man 2 It was last year.
