Meanwhile, volume shipments for Microsoft's Xbox One are expected to start in the third quarter, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

The PS4 reportedly is manufactured by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) and the Xbox One by Pegatron Technology, while their components are supplied by Lite-On IT, Lite-On Technology, Foxlink, Asia Optical, Kinko Optical, Newmax, Foxconn Technology, Coxon, Nishoku, Elite Advanced Laser, Tong Hsing Electronic Industries, Adda, Delta Electronics, Chicony Electronics and Neng Tyi, the sources said. However, Sony and Foxconn declined to comment about the rumors.

In my maths...

June - 200k
July - 500k 
August - 800k
September - 1 million
October - 1 million
November - 1 million
 December - 1 million

 5.5 million shipped this year?

Semms like Sony really increased the forecast to PS4.

Edit - Fixed numbers due the prodcution reach 1 million in September.

I didn't entered in GAF to check the GT threads yet after the launch.

Just how many units do they expect to sell?? This seems so fake it's unreal, but...

For the fiscal year, 4mil maximum.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So no PS4 from Japan? That sucks.

I still expect PS4 to be mostly sold out all the way through Q1 2014, probably up to February/March atleast.

Well going by preorders (and the masses don't even know about preorders yet) I'd say they have a good chance to sell out this holiday. Why limit their sell through by not having enough systems at launch to meet demand.

~5.5m for one or two months... I'm pretty sure Japan in included... WW release seems like.

I meant it quite literally.  I would have liked manufacturing to have been in Japan for the launch bunch like the PS3 was.
