PlayStation 5 Rare, Sony Cancels PS4’s Dead Injection

JAKARTA – Sony will reportedly continue to produce PlayStation 4 consoles throughout 2022. This is to make up for the lack of production PlayStation 5 given the chipset supply chain issues that make it a rarity.

Although the Japan-based electronics company has yet to make a public announcement, Bloomberg News reports that Sony originally planned to discontinue the PS4 model in late 2021.
