Sony says PS5 stock shortages will stabilise, and sales return to PS4-era momentum by 2024

The PlayStation 5’s sales momentum – currently held back by stock shortages – will finally overtake the PS4’s equivalent selling speed by 2024.

In a recent earnings call, Sony noted it missed its PS5 sales target by 3.3m consoles.

In a financial presentation last night, Sony exec Jim Ryan noted that, despite a strong launch, PS5 sales were lagging behind PS4 in its equivalent second year owing to supply constraints.
