Accumulated global shipments for the PS3 are expected to exceed 100 million units, a record that was set by Sony’s earlier games consoles, the PS and PS2, despite the fact that the PS3 will be priced higher than the PS2, Yasuda said.

This raised doubts if Sony can really bring the PS3 to the market in the spring of this year as expected, according to market sources.
