Sony has already confirmed that the PS4 will be launching at the end of 2013, at least in the US. In fact, Sony has previously revealed that it expects to ship 12-16 million PS4s by the end of the year.

But sources close to the supply chain suggests that this isn't the case and that Sony has yet to submit manufacturing plans.

Digitimes reports that sources close to the upstream suppliers have not yet received shipment instructions, which could result in delays to the mass production of the PS4.

This would mean that Sony would not be able to create enough PS4's to fulfill its expected shipments of 12-16 million.

However Sony originally claimed that it would start shipping the PS4 by June, with mass shipments scheduled for August.

This could even reach a high of 20 million units, suggesting that there could still be leeway with the manufacturing process if it hopes to produce 12-16 million PS4s by the end of the year.

Thre is no way that Sony would be able to ship 12-16 million PS4 units this year.  Even if they did, unless they priced them at under $250, they would never sell that many anyway.

eventually they would even if they didn't ship any more till Christmas 2014
