Electonic Arts: Only Half of Planned PlayStation 3 Consoles Shipped
 

Chief executive of Electronics Arts Inc., a leading publisher of video games, said that Sony Corp. has only managed to supply only half of the planned PlayStation 3 amount on the launch date.

Originally Sony Computer Entertainment America said that it planned to supply 400 thousand PlayStation 3 units to the North America markets at launch and another 100 thousand for the domestic launch in Japan. However, later on the company had to cut down the allocation for Japan to 88.4 thousand units, which spurred rumours about possible reduction of the amount PS3s to be available at the launch date.
