Is Sony getting rid of PS4?

Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022. As Bloomberg reports(Opens in a new window), Sony never officially stated when PS4 production would end, but "people familiar with the matter" said the end of 2021 was Sony's previous cutoff date.

Sony has informed its manufacturing partners that production of the PS4 console will continue throughout 2022. As Bloomberg reports(Opens in a new window), Sony never officially stated when PS4 production would end, but "people familiar with the matter" said the end of 2021 was Sony's previous cutoff date. However, the pandemic coupled with huge demand for the PS5 has seemingly changed Sony's mind. During 2022, one million new PS4 consoles will be produced, but that figure could change depending on demand. Remember, Sony's robots can assemble a PS4 every 30 seconds, so reacting to increased demand won't be a problem. You'd think Sony would want to move as much of its production capabilities over to the PS5, but instead the company sees PS4 production as helping to offset pressure in the marketplace. After all, the PS4 offers a huge range of games to play and the console costs significantly less than the PS5. Stock of new PS4 consoles all but disappeared in the run up to the holidays, pushing prices of both new and used units higher. As to which PS4 is being produced, Sony stopped producing the PS4 Pro completely and all but one model of the PS4 in January last year in its home territory. Therefore, the Jet Black PlayStation 4 Slim is the console we'll see re-appearing at retailers around the world for the rest of the year.
