Sony to push for 16 million PS4 shipments in 2013, say sources

Having high hopes on its Playstation 4 (PS4) game console, Sony internally expects the machine's annual shipments to reach 16 million units in 2013 with the supply chain expected to start mass shipments in August, according to sources from PS4 component makers.

The sources pointed out that the PS4 will be manufactured by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) and Pegatron Technology, and the player have just begun the processes of request for quotation (RFQ) for the related components. Therefore, the component shipments are unlikely to start until August, but should allow the machine to show up before the year-end holidays in 2013.

Sony shipped a total of 150 million Playstation 2s and 100 million Playstations and has shipped 77 million Playstation 3s over the past seven years.

No chance. But if they're really going for that figure, then surely a European launch is on the cards, which is great news

I'd say that guarantees a launch in more than one territory, but I can't see this being even remotely true. It just doesn't sound logistically feasible. Financial year, maybe?
