Is PS5 made in China or the USA?
Sony’s Tokyo address in the manual identifies the responsible company, not the console’s assembly country. Likewise, a global Sony site list is insufficient to call a particular PS5 US-made, Japan-made or China-made. [3][2]
Same factory, different label
A PlayStation console and another Sony electronics product share a corporate group, not necessarily a factory. The group manufacturing disclosure does not establish that PS5, televisions and imaging products share an identical assembly line. [1][2]
