Sony Group, which expects to sell the most consoles in its history in the fiscal year beginning April 2022, is aiming to produce at least 22.6 million PlayStation 5s so it can reach that goal.

Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, the group's gaming unit, said during the company's Investor Relations Day presentation on Thursday, that SIE will "make sure FY2022 will be the highest year" for console sales.
Sony's best year for console sales was fiscal 1998, when it sold 22.6 million consoles of the original PlayStation. PS2, Sony's bestselling console of all time at over 155 million units, logged an annual sales peak of 22 million units in fiscal 2002.

Doesn't seem they will be able to produce much this year. Which is a shame because demand for the console is crazy high. They could have sold 20 million this year alone.
