Out with the old, in with the new – although a shortage of stocks has made getting a PS5 console almost impossible, Sony is already starting to allow time for production of some PlayStation 4 models as the new generation gets underway. .
That’s according to a number of Japanese retailers (via VGC) who have started notifying customers that they will no longer be able to restock PS4 500GB Glacier White, PS4 1TB Jet Black, PS4 1TB Glacier White, PS4 2TB Jet Black, and PS4 Pro. 1TB Glacier White console editions “due to manufacturer ending production.”
It follows an earlier message from Sony (since it was removed) listed on the PlayStation.com Direct Store PS4 Pro product page saying “There are currently no plans to restock this item in the future.”
The shortage continues
The discontinuation of older hardware production should be expected when Sony launches its new line of PlayStation hardware. With so many still struggling to find a PS5 console, it makes sense for Sony to shift its production line resources to focus on new machines.
Hope is on the horizon, though: Reports from a PS5 stock tracker suggest a large shipment of stock is on the way in early January, which may ease retailers dealing with backorders.
