An article on Business Week says that Sony might not be able to produce 1 Million Playstation 3 units per month, let’s hope Sony can get all the kinks out before the launch during Christmas. The funny part about this article is they keep refering to someone named McNealy, who is this McNealy that thinks they won’t make the one million mark of Playstation 3?!

It’s also a super-computer," McNealy said, referring to Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi’s recent revelations. "This is now the most complex box that’s ever been built in this industry. It’s going to have a Cell processor, it’s going to have a Blu-ray drive. The number of pieces that are going into this box are even more astounding [than the over 1700 parts used in the Xbox 360]."
