With the next generation of gaming console being just around the corner, many are anticipating their launch. Now, Sony has apparently raised the order for its upcoming PlayStation 5 by nearly 50 percent expecting to cater to higher sales.
According to a new report, the company was originally touted to produce 6 million PS5 consoles in 2020. However, that number has since been bumped up to 9 million units and could even reach 10 million as well. The reason for Sony to order such a large number of consoles is likely to be directly related to a higher demand for in house entertainment systems that have arisen due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Notably, the PlayStation 4 had sold over 4.2 million units within the first month of its launch. Thus, it can be said that Sony is preparing to see a much higher demand for its latest generation game console. Furthermore, Facebook has also reportedly boosted the production of Oculus VR headsets, with a similar goal that ishes to raise production by 2 million units in total (another 50 percent increase) in the second half of 2020.
The company is also said to start mass production of new headsets later this month, although it is unclear if it’s a standalone system like the Rift S. At the moment, supply constraints have been hampering operations and many gaming related peripherals have also been out of stock for a while now. So, we will have to wait and see how this works out for major launches in the near future.
