Sony Assures PlayStation 5 Supply Amid Global RAM Shortage
Sony has assured consumers that it will maintain a stable supply of PlayStation 5 consoles despite ongoing global memory shortages affecting the tech industry. The company reported selling 1.6 million PS5 units in recent months, which is about one-third fewer than at this time last year. Sony stated it has secured enough RAM to meet its projected sales volume for fiscal year 2026 and confirmed no changes are expected to hardware profitability compared to the previous fiscal year. The assurance comes as memory prices have surged due to a global shortage, prompting concerns about potential restocks or production halts ahead of major game launches like GTA VI. While Sony has not ruled out price increases for consoles to maintain profit margins, it emphasized that there will be no significant disruptions in hardware availability.
