Sony admit that they won’t be able to meet the demand for Playstation 3
Sony is yet to launch their upcoming gaming console Sony Playstation 3 and they are already admitting that it would be impossible for them to meet the initial demand for this next generation gaming console.
The console is due to be launched in November this year and it would take on competing products from Microsoft (Xbox 360) and Nintendo (Wii).
SCEA president Kaz Hirai admitted in an interview that production lines have yet to begin full operation. He said: “We haven’t started manufacturing yet. Some of our ops guys were actually just in China, and also in Japan just reviewing the lines and everything else. But they are, again, preparing as we speak to get the manufacturing going.”
He further added: “We’ve not announced and we haven’t set really a specific date to say, ‘As of this day we’re going to start manufacturing’.”
However, the company is still confident that they would be able to match its target of 2 million units for launch.

You mean Sony admits they wont meet the demand for quality.
Instead you can buy a rushed and broken PS3 with steaming Cell Processor with a busted SPE (almost guaranteed), and a Blew ray drive that blows with lots of read errors and looooooooong load times. Warranty is just 12 months – what a joke!
