You may have heard the rumours about the PS3 already being in production. And I can confirm for you right here that yes indeed, these are the rumours. 🙂 Cheap shot, I know, but I couldn’t resist.

Following unconfirmed reports that Nintendo is already producing the Wii, we now have an unconfirmed report from The Commercial Times that Taiwanese electronics firm Asustek Computer has already started producing PlayStation 3 machines and have delivered some to Sony. Production quantities at first are reportedly small, which is understandable.

Supposedly they received parts for 200,000 units in June and that number will keep getting higher until Sony gets 2 million per month in October. Which seems strange since Sony has previously said that it’ll only have 2 million at launch.

So that puts the kibosh on all those rumours that the PS3 components won’t even fit into the PS3 box.
