Sony still expecting to ship 2 million PS3 units by the end of the year

Nintendo might be dominating Sony this holiday season with their Wii gaming console but Sony is not giving any hope.

The company’s Playstation 3 console has become a hard to find item this holiday season due to lack of supplies.

Sony still believes that they can achieve their target of shipping as many as 2 million units of PS3 before the end of the year.

Sony President Ryoji Chubachi said in a statement: “It’s true that availability has been a bottleneck. But the targets are achievable. We do not need to revise our shipment targets.”

Sony is also hoping to meet its shipment target of 6 million PS3 ready by the end of the fiscal year ending March. They are due to launch the PS3 console in Europe early next year. That should further boost their sales if they can manage to ship enough units in the markets around the world.
