No but there is a fascinating caveat here. The first is really strange as it implies that the Chinese government must approve shipment levels on and incremental basis. Second is that PS4s are natually assembled in China... so the idea of 'shipment' is strange at best as it means taking them from the factory to a store via truck (so no real supply/stocking constraint). What we are probably going to see is a situation where they send to retailers exactly what they can presell plus a few extra. So... seems like the next round of preorder tracking starts tomorrow.
If we start to see sellouts on preorders, we may be able to predict the minimum they are going to ship at launch. If it doesn't sellout, there is probably no way to predict until SMG makes some sort of announcement like they did with Xbox One.
