Sony suspends memory card business for the foreseeable future
In what is quickly becoming a couple of rough days for Sony, the Japanese giant has announced that it is no longer taking in orders for almost all of its products in its SD memory card lineup. This comes right as they’ve also announced increased global prices for their PlayStation 5 series of consoles.
Sony Japan published a statement on their site notifying and apologising to users that, due to the global memory shortages, they will not be able to meet demand for their memory cards. As such, they’ll be suspending orders from their authorised details and from customers on the Sony Japan Store. There’s also no fixed word on when or even if order acceptance will be resumed.
There’s no word just yet on whether this will affect Sony Malaysia’s memory business, but at time of writing you can still buy selected memory cards from the Sony Malaysia website, albeit with some of them already out of stock.
Here’s Sony statement in full:
Thank you for your continued patronage of Sony products.
Due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors, it is anticipated that supply will not be able to meet demand for CFexpress memory cards and SD memory cards for the foreseeable future.
