Sony Announces End of PS5 Supply Issues, Predicts Record-Breaking Holiday Sales

As global chip shortage recedes, Sony assures full availability of its PS5 console this holiday season, further buoyed by the runaway success of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 game and the release of a slimmer PS5 model.

Sony has confirmed that the PS5 supply issues have been resolved and distributors will be fully stocked for the holiday season, following three years of persistent global chip shortages and scalper activities.
Sony is anticipating a significant increase in console sales, with Eric Lempel, PlayStation's VP of global marketing, predicting one of the strongest sales seasons in the company's history.
The newly released Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a PS5-exclusive game developed by Insomniac, is proving to be a runaway success for Sony with an impressive 2.5 million copies sold on the first day of release.
Sony is preparing to release a new, slimmer PS5 model this holiday season, offering both disc-based and digital-only versions with the Digital Edition priced at $450.
Despite Sony's earlier launch of the PSVR 2 headset in February this year, Lempel maintains that while Virtual Reality offers opportunity for innovation, it is not expected to overshadow console sales during the holiday season.
