I'm so confused. You're literally saying you think Sony is going to make 30m PS5's in a single year (when they have currently sold 23m after 22 months). This is such an absurdly ridiculous number, like why would you even believe such a rumor? Its obviously false. If you made a typo and meant 20.5m, that would still be a lot! I doubt PS5 could possibly sell that in a year, but it would at least be in the realm of possibility, it would just mean Sony is being optimistic. 20.5m would be realistic to make (perhaps not sell though) if they were no longer hampered by chip shortages. But 30.5m...come on, we may as well say that Nintendo is planning on putting 10m Switch's in Japan in 2023, that is as believable.

No, Tom Henderson heard that Sony plans to manufacture 30M PS5's, which gives the rumor a lot of weight considering his track record. 

He just sullied the hell out of any previously venerable track record he built with such a projection.  


I say that based on demand (controlled by Sony) and supply (controlled by thousands of suppliers).  30.5 million PS5s produced in the current fiscal year is a figure that should not be conceptualized, uttered, written, typed, or spoken by anyone even partially connected to the industry on a professional level.
