GI.biz reports Electronic Arts CFO, Warren Jenson, says they don't believe Sony will hit their year-end PS3 shipment of 2 million consoles for North America and Japan. The North American shipment was to be between 1 and 1.2 million units. This 2 million target keeps being debated back and forth. A few weeks ago Sony had us spinning over a Bloomberg report (since pulled), that didn't jive with a Gamespot interview, to the point where the spin had become so bad, all we could confirm was a direct quote from Sony's Jack Tretton saying, "Sony Playstation 3 is in full production and our target quantities for North America remain unchanged ... We plan to have more than one million systems in North America by December 31, 2006"

M$ Agent #2 (Registered) 2006-11-06 23:42:37 Well Nintendo is targeting just under state of the art I think (im by no means an expert) I think the Wii will surprise with how good its graphics are for the price. The PS3 is just over state of the art and so I can imagine has a huge failure rate at the QC end of the production line. The thing the PS3 has going for it is backwards compatibility and its graphics will be amazing when its released. The one downfall I can see for the PS3 is the price as no console ever released at that price has ever been a #1 console... It will be interesting if Sony can pull it off, but I do worry that if Sony does manage to do it will we see even higher prices for consoles in the future ? Reply | Quote
