Sony says it has secured enough memory to support its projected PS5 sales until 31 March 2027, reducing concern about supply shortages in the near term. The company also says its plan for hardware profitability is unchanged, which the article interprets as a possible sign that further PS5 price rises are unlikely before then, although this is not a firm commitment.

Sony raised prices across its hardware range earlier this year, taking the cheapest PS5 to $599.99, $200 above its launch price. PS5 sales fell 36% year on year in Sony’s latest results, though lifetime shipments have reached 95.3 million units and are expected to pass 100 million; upcoming releases including Grand Theft Auto 6 could support demand despite the console trailing the PS4’s sales pace.
