| Diomedes1976 said: I think the bootleneck is only because they dont want to produce more units with the current cost of it ...they must have in the works the reduction in nanometers for both GPU and CPU and the blue diodes keep falling so they prefer to stick to the current production (that makes them lose some money for units sold) and hold the increase in production when those upgrades arrive. |
Not only that but retooling the the manufacturing process even to swap part isn't free and can't be done instantly (term contracts, etc.).
Sony can't just push a button and upgrade things. They need to negotiate with new providers or existing providers, modify their current processes, or even adopt new ones. All of that is going to have cost and overhead attached to it as well.
*puts on Captain Obvious hat* They'll likely upgrade when they can and when it's cost effective to do so.
