Sony, which obviously didn't meet its llaunch target of 400,000 systems, is now reporting that all manufacturing issues have been overcome and the company is full on target to have a million systems shipped by the end of the year. From Sony communications boss David Karraker...

While initial day-one launch shipment goals weren't achievable due to early manufacturing issues, those problems have been resolved and we do remain focused on having one million PS3s in the pipeline by December 31, 2006.

See? Everything is okay! Sure people were beaten, robbed, cheated, and in one case shot to death by police over the much-anticipated console, but we can put that all behind us now. All we need now is some tolerable games other than Resistance that aren't better on another system and we're in business! Michael Fahey
