PS4 Components Shipping Ahead Of Xbox One Components

  The PlayStation 4 will be a hot item when it debuts later this year, and it appears Sony is already gearing up to meet the increased demand.According to a recent DigiTimes report, components for Sony's new console have already started shipping, "and volumes may reach one million units per month by September for the year-end holidays."

At the same time, Microsoft Xbox One components aren't expected to start shipping until the third quarter. The PS4 is being manufactured by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry). The Xbox One is being produced by Pegatron Technology, with components supplied by Lite-On IT, Lite-On Technology, Foxlink, Asia Optical, Kinko Optical, Newmax, Foxconn Technology, Coxon, Nishoku, Elite Advanced Laser, Tong Hsing Electronic Industries, Adda, Delta Electronics, Chicony Electronics and Neng Tyi.

 The Xbox One is like a cacophony of exotic components, or something.But anyway, none of this should really effect the launch dates (both systems are expected to launch in November). This just means that thankfully, there may be enough PS4s to go around when it arrives.


 

 There have been lots of reports from legitimate sources about Microsoft refusing to speak to the press, canceling interviews, and paying publishers to block out the PlayStation symbol on multiplatform games shown during E3. Then MS went and made things worse by...you know, talking at the conference. Still, would they really stoop to halting a poll just to save face.

Amazon started a poll on June 13, asking gamers which console they'd choose in the next generation. This poll was supposed to run through June 20 but as noted by Cinema Blend, Amazon has prematurely ended the lopsided contest. The results were about 95% in favor of the PS4, which is pretty nuts (and boring from a competition standpoint), but why did the poll stop? What's the point of ending it four days early.

Oh, the conspiracy theorists are running around saying Microsoft put a stop to it. It was only resulting in more damaging headlines and when MS saw it, they decided to put the whammy on the poll. Then again, maybe Amazon just stopped it because the comments were getting ugly. That's possible, too; when the console wars and fanboy nonsense leaks into the mainstream, it really is pretty embarrassing. Besides, maybe Amazon just figured there wasn't any reason to keep it up; the battle was won, right.
