Sony has now denied the validity of the Bloomberg report. He said, "Although we have not released manufacturing details, the information provided by Bloomberg is incorrect. We have not changed the number of PlayStation 5 devices that have been produced since the start of mass production."
Bloomberg previously reported that Sony plans to increase production to around 10 million units by the end of December. However, he said in his report that the company had encountered manufacturing problems.

The new report states that this means that half of the parts produced cannot be shipped. Although this number is increasing, revenue has not yet reached stable levels.
The revised figure is still much higher than previously announced: the Japanese company Sony originally planned to use the PlayStation 5 production platform.
According to reports, Sony plans to produce 5 to 6 million gaming consoles by the end of March next year in April, which will be less than production at the launch of the platform. - PlayStation 4 format in 2013.

Sony will host a special PlayStation 5 online event later on Wednesday. At this stage, the final price and release date of the platform may be displayed. There are two different versions: one with a reader and the other without a reader. .
