The struggles to find a PlayStation 5 won't appear to end any time soon.
Sony warned analysts its popular video game console will remain under tight supply constraints through 2022, said a report from Bloomberg.
The report, which cites several unnamed sources who attended a briefing between Sony and analysts, said Chief Financial Officer Hiroki Totoki told analysts demand has been so strong for the PS5 that "even if we secure a lot more devices and produce many more units of the PlayStation 5 next year, our supply wouldn’t be able to catch up."
Sony could not be immediately reached for comment.

Both the PS5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X have been difficult to find at retailers because of insatiable demand and a global semiconductor shortage.
During an earnings call last month, Microsoft chief financial officer Amy Hood said Xbox has experienced record engagement as well as "demand that significantly exceeded supply for Xbox Series X and S consoles."
