I don't know what about this news suggests that the rumors (which they weren't by the way) of sony upping shipments for this fiscal year ending March 2021 to 10M units is false.
This is just sony selling PlayStations directly, and there will be shipments to every other retailer.
And at launch, price doesn't really have anything to do with things. If sony can get 5M units available worldwide between launch (nov) and December 2020, even with a price range of $399 - $499, and a 1.5:1 digital to physical SKU split (which I believe is what sony would be going for). They would still sell out of whatever they are able to ship.
For reference, in the same period Nov 2013 to March 2014, sony shipped a total of 7.5M PS4s. I don't think going up from that to 10M for the same period is out of the question.
