"We truly appreciate the support and patience of the PlayStation community as we managed unprecedented demand amid global challenges over the past two years," Ryan said, referring to the shortage of semiconductor chips that resulted in PS5 scarcity.

"PS5 supply improved toward the end of last year, and I'm happy to share that December was the biggest month ever for PS5 console sales and that we have now sold more than 30 million units to consumers worldwide," he added.
Finally, Ryan concluded on an optimistic note, assuring that the supply issues are now solved completely: “Everyone who wants a PS5 should have a much easier time finding one at retailer globally, starting from this point forward.”
