Apple has no problem launching new products that sell many times the initial PS4 sales. Samsung sold 80 million smart phones last quarter. It's no wonder Sony is no longer in the top tier of world electronics manufacturers.

Apple has no problems? Sony did great with the PS4 launch. 

Investors remain concerned that Apple may not be able to produce enough second-generation iPad mini units with Retina displays, with one analyst on Monday predicting that the company may not be able to ramp up production to satisfactory levels until next year.

Huge difference.....

Apple sold nearly 23 Million iPad last quarter... thats almost **2 million iPads sold every single week for 12 weeks straight** .. They are worried with demand GROWING for the holidays they won't keep up..

Converse to that Sony has sold about 1.7 million consoles in ... what ?  almost  4 weeks..

I am replying to fact it was stated that Apple have no problems launching new products that sell many times the initial PS4 sales. 

As the article shows Apple can also have issues and problems with meeting production targets, the article is also saying there may be yield issues in developing the ipad mini retina display. Because of the production issues, growth is low. From the article it states that 23 million will be sold up from 22.9 million in the same quarter a year ago, not a massive increase to be worried about is it. 

Sony had a successful record breaking launch with the PS4 and are doing great.
