Sony has corrected numbers put forth by Kaz Hirai, the company's Computer division president in the US, that suggested only 2 million PS3 units would be manufactured by the end of the year.

The corporation has released this statement: "Unfortunately Kaz Hirai's comments in the recent GameSpot interview regarding PlayStation 3 production were misunderstood".

"We are still on schedule to ship 2 million units for our mid-November 2006 launch and additional 2 million units by the end of the year for a total of 4 million units."

However, they did not confirm or deny his revelation that the units are not in production yet.
