I actually went to read that original article in that Taiwanese news site. This is a business-related news focusing on the Taiwanese computer manufacturers' profits, has nothing to go with gaming industry.
It seems to be reliable that two major Taiwanese companies (Foxconn and Pegatron) obtained 50-50 orders from Sony to assembly the next version of PS3.
However, the article also says:
this maybe the "last minor revision" of PS3 before the SCEI rolling out the "next gen console" next year to compete with Microsoft's Xbox360 and Nintendo's Wii. Then the article went on and on about the motion controller Sony showed at E3, so I assume that the reporter didn't know Sony's motion controller will be an add-on.
Anyway, the article mentioned both companies will start shipping PS3 in July, which makes me believe Sony will dry up the current PS3 model and stock up the Slim model for the holiday season and FFXIII launch in Japan. I expect new model and price cut announcement somewhere around TGS.
It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo
