Seran 80.000 consolas.
[quote]Reports are suggesting that Sony has cut the number of launch units from 100,000 to 80,000 in Japan.
The news comes from the morning edition of Nikkei Keizai Shimbun. Last month Sony delayed the launch of the PS3 in Europe till March, and halved its shipping forecasts for North America and Japan, due to problems manufacturing the Blu-ray laser diode.
Originally, Sony hoped to ship four million units before the end of 2006. But now it seems the company cannot meet its revised launch plans.
The number of units available at launch in North America currently remains unchanged at 400,000.
The PlayStation 3 will be released in Japan on November 11th and in North America on November 17th.
