Sony officials have reported that it will continue to be particularly difficult to buy PS5 in Portugal and worldwide. At issue is the current shortage of chips, components and semiconductors that have already led to the suspension of several production chains.

Although several nations such as the United States of America are trying to find solutions to overcome the present situation, like Bloomberg, it will continue to be difficult to obtain a PS5. Worst of all? The problem has no end in sight.

According to the source, during a private meeting with market analysts, Sony will have informed them that the problem of scarcity will continue to be felt. The forecasts are not very positive and point to shortcomings in the stock until 2022.

“I don’t believe that demand will decline over the course of this year, and even if we manage to secure the production of many more devices and produce many more PlayStation 5 units next year, our supply would not be able to meet demand.” These were the words of Hiroki Totoki, CFO of the Sony group in statements to the participants of the meeting.

This news is terrible for anyone who wants to buy a PS5 and continues to see their attempts unsuccessful. It will still be necessary to make a reservation to guarantee a PS5 on a certain date, be it a birthday or for Christmas.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that in 2022 the problem will be solved. In fact, the company implies exactly the opposite, foreseeing maintenance of the deficit of units. The cause remains the same shortage of chips and semiconductors.

In 2022 it will continue to be difficult to buy a PS5

Launched on the market in November 2020 the new PS5 continues to feint players. Although it is gradually easier to get a console, it is still advisable to pre-book it and keep an eye on the main stores.

Anyone waiting for the next generation games, with several titles coming between 2021 and 2022, is not guaranteed that by then they will be able to buy a PS5. Sony’s stance towards analysts is serious proof of the scale of the problem at hand.

It should be noted, moreover, that this same scarcity of components affects not only Sony, but most technology companies. Take, for example, Nintendo, which also suffers from this problem with its Switches for the rest of 2021.
