Launch models are fine, or at least will have issues unrelated to this.

This only affects price and availability.
Not even price, this is AMD's problem more than anything. Sony will have already agreed a price per chip with AMD, this just means Sony get to make fewer PS5s than they hoped. You wouldn't change long term price on a product only because initial yield was lower than expected.

Anyway this isn't too bad, it's still higher than PS4 and they will probably ramp up further in the rest of next year to make up for it.

This marches with the increased air freight, if the first few months of production were much lower than expected then its launch that would suffer, but the air freight basically moves the shipments forward a quarter.

PS4 shipped 4.5M and 3M in it's first two quarters. We might see something like 6M and 3.5M for PS5 if they do hit this production target.
