Sony Says They May Not Hit PS3 Shipment Targets

Via 1up, a Bloomberg article exploring the possibility that Sony may not hit their shipment targets for the PS3. From the article: "Sony plans to ship two million PlayStation 3 players this year to the U.S. and Japan, and six million worldwide by March. The Tokyo-based company said yesterday annual profit would fall 35 percent to its lowest in five years on price cuts of the console in Japan and a recall of 9.6 million computer batteries. 'The honest answer is it's more of a target' for PlayStation 3 shipments, Jack Tretton, co-chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said yesterday in an interview. 'Clearly we've had production issues.'"

    the 400,000 delegated for North America at launch may dip even lower? Looks like those Ebay pre-orders just rose in stock...

    Slashdot obviously is now a Microsoft web site. It has Microsoft fanboys in it's ranks... don't say anything bad about Microsoft or you'll be modded down.
