Hopefully, PS4 production won't discontinue any fourth dimension soon. The PS5 is still in incredibly high need, and due to multiple retailers non having any stock of the console, it doesn't seem like its supply has risen. Soon subsequently the panel's release (and disappearance from store and digital shelves), a tweet from PlayStation'due south account confirmed that retailers would exist receiving more than consoles. However, any restocks in the time since have rapidly sold out.

Information technology has been made clear that Sony intends to cease production of the PS4 one-time soon. PlayStation Direct, a site ready by Sony to sell PlayStation products in the US, has listed both the base PS4 and the PS4 Pro every bit sold out. The consoles are available through other retailers, possibly signaling that Sony intends to focus entirely on pushing consumers towards its PS5.
