PS5 Shortage
First of all, it’s not just PS5 that is facing the supply crisis as the pandemic has hit all of the console manufacturing industry. These chips are a major component of the CPUs and GPUs of electronic devices. These materials needed to make the chips aren’t being excavated because of the pandemic and till then, all manufacturing is stuck. Now, this was the primary reason for the lack of supply. Another reason for it is exceptionally high demand.
In the pandemic, people are exploring their passions and hobbies increasingly and gaming is one of them. Hence, the demand for consoles is rising at a fast pace amidst COVID-19 and the supply has taken a hit because of the basic material shortages. This has trapped PS5 in a vicious cycle of demand-supply which is getting more and more intense. It is our hope that all of it would end as soon as the pandemic ends, and the console industry emerges stronger than ever.
