Forums - Sony - Sony to Start Mass Production of PlayStation 4 in Q3 2013 – Report

 X-bit labs

In the meantime, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report (which was partly translated by DigiTimes web-site), Taiwan-based supply chain participants for the PlayStation 4, plan to begin shipments in the second quarter of 2013, which means that actual assembly of the console may start in the third quarter, or even earlier, depending on availability of components.

According to the report, including power supply maker Delta Electronics, connector maker Cheng Uei Precision Industry (Foxlink), and thermal module maker Foxconn Technology, will ship PS4 components in Q2.

At present, it is unclear which contract manufacturer will assemble the PlayStation 4 game console. The PS3 is produced by Sony EMCS, Foxconn Technology Group (Hon Hai Precision Industries) and Pegatron.

Wonder how many units they'll be able to push out in time for launch, would be a very wise idea, if slightly unlikely if they could get 6M units for a simulatanous launch date

So Q4 release then?

if they have 6m ready for this holiday at least there won't be shortages (well depending on how they divide it up between regions)

Kind of why I'm hoping they'll be able to start production in time, consoles are always extremely supply limited at release due to improper timing as to when they need to start producing. :(
