“As I said earlier, we’re aiming for more sales volume than the PS4 [during year 2]. But can we drastically increase the supply? No, that’s not likely. The shortage of semiconductors is one factor, but there are other factors that will impact on the production volume. So, at present, we’d like to aim at [beating] second year sales of 14.8 million, which was the second year of PS4.”

From the gaming community, more than 8000 signatures were signed on Change.org as a petition for Sony’s official PS5 sale in India. As per the reports, till now PS5 official sale in India is only 5,500.

SV Yesvanth Kumar, an Indian gamer, has started this online petition on 24 April. He is an Information Security Engineer at a major technology company in Banglore.
