PS3 Manufacturing Improves
Sony's chronic supply problems for the PlayStation 3 should be coming to an end, according to a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz today by the console maker. While the company admits that it fell short of the 400,000 units promised for the mid-November launch, as reported previously in NPD research, Sony communications head David Karraker said on Tuesday that the "problems have been resolved" and that the company should still meet its earlier oal of one million PS3 systems shipped by the end of 2006. The company plans to ship consoles by air to compensate for lost time.
Nintendo's Wii console is still expected to outnumber the PS3 in stores, with roughly two million systems due by the end of the year.
