This report was recently delivered by Jim Ryan via Sony's investor relations website, as spotted by Eurogamer. According to Ryan, while current issues have caused the PS5 to fall behind the PS4 in sales measured by similar time after release, those issues should cease to be a problem by 2024. Sony expects it will overcome component shortages in the near future, which will lead to a surge in PS5 sales, resulting in it overcoming the PS4 sales trajectory by the time 2024 rolls around. While the PS5 has fallen behind the PS4 in sales in its second year, Sony believes it will catch up by 2024.
