The Covid-19 pandemic that resulted in a global shortage of semiconductors affected the distribution of the PlayStation 5. This prompted Sony to review its projection with PS4 and, at the same time, benefit from the increase in sales. However, Jim Ryan, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced the end of the console in a recent meeting with company members.
It appears that the company’s future strategy of ditching PS4 to focus entirely on PS5 and expanding beyond consoles won’t be until 2025.
