CNBC financial news reported that Sony's stock fell over 3% the other day because of reports from a Japanese firm (Mitsubishi UFJ) saying Sony would have trouble producing the 6 million units of the PS3 as told at that little old show called E3. Wasn't it supposed to be 4 million, though? Two million at launch and two more by the end of the year? Well, whichever, this is painful news for the uber-extreme fanboys who actually buy stock in Sony. The Japanese firm stated Sony will probably be able to produce 3 million units (closer to what Kaz Hirai mis-estimated).Even though this kind of messed up stock prices, it has nothing to do with the actual output of the consoles themselves. No independant stores said they were or were not going to have trouble getting their hands on Sony's new system. Does this deter anyone? Stock prices go up and down every couple of minutes and it seems the Japanese firm didn't have its facts straight. Or Sony was lying and they actually plan on making six million units by year's end. Either way, in the long run, this changes nothing! Come on, November 11 (for Japan) and November 17 for US, EU (pronounced yoo), and... them (Australasia). Sorry Australasia, you didn't quite fit into the "clever" ending.
