According to a report in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Sony will increase the initial production volume of PS5 by 50% from the originally planned volume. The Nihon Keizai Shimbun initially predicted that the PS5's initial production volume would be 6 million units, but the latest press forecasts it to be about 9 million units. Bloomberg, which also reported an increase in PS5 production, reports an initial production of 10 million units. Both Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Bloomberg point to the 'increased demand due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection' as the reason for the increase in the initial production volume of PS5.
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports that Facebook is also increasing the production of VR headsets made by Oculus, which is expected to increase by about 50% year-on-year. Oculus is reported to start mass production of the new VR headset in July 2020, but the Nihon Keizai Shimbun does not mention which model production volume will increase.
