Sony Clarifies 2 Million PS3s Statement
"Microsoft´s factories in China (of which they had two) were producing up to 120,000 units per week each once they got to full capacity.
Those shops don´t start out running at full capacity. Ever.
Still, Sony runs their own fabs, IIRC. I don´t know what they have ready. Maybe they have four factories that are going to start out on day one producing 125,000 units each per week, and they can make two million every month. Seems unlikely.
Especially given that you don´t typically want to have your factories running at 100% right up to launch then have to cut back production severely when the new year starts and the big selling season goes away. That´s not efficient."
