文章： Jonas Maki – Gamereactor.cnNeither Microsoft nor Sony seemed to have a happy Christmas last year due to lower-than-expected demand, with large amounts of unsold consoles.This is now having consequences, according to Businesstoday (pass Install Base), both companies are now cutting production.
Sony expected to cut production in half (from 1 million units/month to 500,000 units) throughout the first quarter, reportedly required by Microsoft “The first quarter of Xbox’s complete shutdown”, which means no new consoles will be produced in the first quarter. Both are pretty scary, as a 50% cut suggests Sony has fundamentally miscalculated demand for the console, or worse, that interest from potential new buyers has waned. And for Microsoft, the situation is even worse. Temporarily suspending console production is nothing new (it happened with the GameCube back in 2003), but it’s a very bad sign that gamer interest is low – something we may also get from Xbox next week New strategies explained.
Although the source is good, there is still no official confirmation. While poor Christmas sales are alarming, the Xbox Series S/X are selling at almost the same pace as the Xbox One, and the PlayStation 5 has been enjoying a very good generation so far. Hopefully this isn’t a trend but a temporary hiccup.
