Most likely, they used some of the material reserved for 2022 in 2021 to have a really good debut for the PS5. Which it had, selling slightly more than the PS4s debut numbers. Unfortunately, they were unable to secure additional chips in 2021 (or unwilling to pay exhorbitant prices for chips), so they are stuck with what they have left in chips now.
I wonder if anyone gets fired at Sony for completely botching up the supply chain. Given they pertty much even abandonded production of PS4s to get chips for the PS5 (chip shortages doesn't mean SoCs and ram chips only, the whole shebang around it on motherboards).
