PlayStation 4 Mass Production Is Happening

Neogaf user spotted leaked pictures on Chinese board.
The leaker also mentioned that his boss said they are shipping out over one million consoles from their factory alone, presumably for launch.

THamm3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

So far production looks like more PS4's being produced in these pics than XboxOne(s) in the Major Nielson pic

IcicleTrepan3881d ago

which means nothing really.

Thisisjuju3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

No dude.. comparing those pics proves nothing.

EDIT: Major nelson posted that picture simply to show fans that the Xbone is in full production.

Whether he took the picture of a single console, a room full or an entire warehouse it doesn't matter.

Comparing those pictures is taking it completely out of context. I assure you there are warehouses right now full to the brim of Xbones ready for launch as it is in full production.

Whichever company is producing more is a complete unknown at this point.

HeyImBen113881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

of course Sony produces more consoles, they have a lot more facturies because they are a hardwarecompany, not like microsoft.

Thisisjuju3881d ago

@ HeyImBen11

Here are the companies that are producing the xbox one parts. With AMD obviously producing the chip-sets.

Asia Optical – sensing lenses
Delat Electronics – power supply
Foxconn Electronics – assembly
Foxlink – connectors
Jentech Precision Industrial – cooling modules
Lite-On Technology – optical disc drive
Newmax – sensing lenses

All of the parts are pretty much created and assembled by third parties. Who owns the most factories is a moot point.

Once again I must assert logic... as with the completely unnecessary Xbox One pictures, this is ridiculous. No one really thinks that these things aren't coming do they? Sony has presold over a million of these things. Of course its their intentions to fulfill every order and then some.

But if you do want to get crazy for a moment you can zoom into the crates. Notice that they are labled by package number. The most visible one looks like P2113. The one next to it looks like P2118. Each wrapped pallet looks like it contains 30 big boxes which probably contain 8 consoles a piece.

Therefore I submit that if P2113 is the latest package, than this fatory has produced over 500,000 PS4s

My PS4 is somewhere in this shot.

abzdine3881d ago

i could see mine over there on the right!

CrossingEden3881d ago

There is absolutely no proof that more ps4s are in production than xbox1s. Comparing the two pics and saying otherwise is completely nonsensical and delusional. Do you guys need to compare EVERYTHING?

Triella3881d ago

@Eonjay

The leaker of this pictures was told by his boss that they are shipping one million consoles for launch from this factory alone. And they are many more assembly lines in Baidu.

FamilyGuy3881d ago

No doubt, here we see a warehouse full of pallets of PS4s wrapped for shipping and ready for launch. One million in this factory alone and this isn't the only factory...

Sony came prepared big time this gen and seeing this just follows in line with all the other great steps they've been making in regards to everything associated with the PS4.

This holiday season is shaping up to be one of, if not the most memorable in history for a gaming fan.

vigilante_man3881d ago

Its finally happened.

Yes folks - we are comparing pictures of cardboard boxes!!

ovnipc3880d ago

Xbox its just a picture of a container being loaded, the PS its a pic of a warehouse, Stop trolling loser!

MWong3880d ago

I'll take 3, since you have so many please!!

The_Con-Sept3880d ago

Amazon be like: We might not have enough!

Bestbuy be like: Reserves are running short!

Wal-Mart be like: please reserve one here. Pretty please!? :(

Target be like: Stop asking us if we have any more reserves! We sold out back in march....

Gamestop be like: would you like to pre order halo 5 with your PS4 reserve?

Microsoft be like: we just overclocked the CPU again! Gotta reconfigure the units!

Sony be like: 4 million PS4's in 4 days. Mwahahahahaahahaha!

Tomorrow kaz be like: 11.22.13? Bring it!

kewlkat0073880d ago

Only on here kids fight of pictures of boxes..My company has more boxed than yours..

ShwankyShpanky3880d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

To be fair... those pics really don't prove anything.

The first pic is just printed packaging. Not even folded and prepped for product. Those could have been printed months ago when the product exterior design was finalized.

In the second pic, the labels aren't legible. They could be pallets of anything.

I won't say that these pics are "faked" in any way, at the same time there's nothing inherent to them to prove they are what they claim to be. The originating thread appears legit I guess... at least from what Google Translate produces.

I've seen nothing that indicates Sony is behind schedule on production, and I believe them to have a better manufacturing supply chain than MS, but to me these pics are little more than a curiosity.

Gotta love Google translate:

over 1mil from just ONE of the factories that are making them. Holy CHRIST O_O.

Thisisjuju3881d ago

Looks like they have learnt from the PS3 selling out at launch. They seem much better poised to meet demand this time around.

Irishguy953881d ago

Yeah, thousands of Chinese working for scraps of food on our Ps4s

BISHOP-BRASIL3880d ago

Yup, 1 million from this factory alone. If there were ever a bad day to be a scalpers, this is it.

Sony is smart there other warehouse that is producing PS4..The xbone is rushed and is barely in production like what 2 days ago? reason why they are not releasing their console world wide..xbone is going to be more defective then the 360 ..quote for the truth guys

Lboogieskells3881d ago

That's a given, you need to patch it day one or you can't play it without an internet connection.

I'm willing to bet yours is the one to rule them all! Lol.

It's always good to see plans coming to fruition! And my plan is get me one of those black, sleek, and sexy PS4's! Perhaps I'll send my wife on a 14 day cruise or something! Anyone know a good travel agent?

*Drools*

I can't believe a stack of unfolded cardboard boxes could get me so excited. Seeing the pallets of console ready to ship is also pretty thrilling.
We're in the home stretch now.

"The leaker also mentioned that his boss said they are shipping out over one million consoles from their factory alone, presumably for launch. And they are not the only factory that's producing ps4s."

Volkama3881d ago

I'm going to steal all of them. Movies will be made to tell the story of the heist.

When time has healed the wounds of everyone that missed their pre-order my hidden stash of ps4s will feature in the story of Uncharted 19.

Gamer19823881d ago

Well DUH! If they wasn't this far in production by now there would be no end of November launch date..

ZHZ903881d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

Sounds great to me.

I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW!

TheXgamerLive3880d ago

Some of the ignorant comments on this post proves one thing, some gamers on here are uneducated about what they speak.

Mr-Dude3880d ago

Why are we comparing these pictures?
Is it about the graphics and polygons? I mean they are pretty much photorealistic so... truly next-gen!

T23880d ago

Serious question - what do people think are minimum and maximims Sony could sell by year one ?

FamilyGuy3880d ago

If demand were high enough to validate them keeping all production factories open for a full year I'd say 14 million. It's unlikely that would happen though, the big sales burst always happen around november-december.

I see them doing 10-12 million though, easily.

1OddWorld3880d ago

Sony has won the hearts and minds this time around, but the only true way to capitalize on this is to have an over abundance of stock in stores. You want to saturate the market so bad that the units sit side by side on the shelves being compared for the people who didn't pre-order. First thing people will compare is price. People want to play next gen games at a price they can afford and $399 looks better than $499.

ovnipc3880d ago

stupid drones that want this paper weight. Xbox One and X 360 all I need after PS1 sony was done for me,
N64>PS1-- Golden Eye better game than any PS game
Xbox Original > PS2--- Halo better than any PS2 game.
Xbox 360>PS3--- 95% of games look better better fps and all games.
Xbox One> Ps4--- Exclusives, Titanfall, DR3, Forza, Ki look better and funner than any PS crap game "Knack" hahahahaha yea spend $400 to play that shit made by the guy who designed it. Fuk PS!

iceman063880d ago

You ARE the weakest link...Good Bye!!!

T23880d ago

Lol dumbest comment in n4g history , congrats. Ps2 literally had the greatest library of all time ... And u put one generic shooter above all that

twinspectre3880d ago

hahahahahah spend 500$ to play lococicle XD FAIL TRY AGAIN
KNACK>TITANFALL is a FACT
Knack is made by a Veteran ,the man behind Spyro , Crash Bandicoot and Jack and Dexter , and Yeah i will get Knack Day 1 what's your problem ????
IN YOUR FACE i SAY , in your FACE

Projekt3880d ago

Well, if it's 'funner', then who am I to argue. Didn't your mother warn you of the dangers of going full-retard?

JustPlay43880d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

What is with xbox fans an fps's is that all you guys/girls play, don't get me wrong I love shooters but still there other genres out there

1. N64 was good but not better then ps1(your opinion)

2. Original xbox sucks (my opinion) and halo 1 and 2 where on PC as well

3. Those are third party games, that is also just your opinion

4. Again just your opinion not a fact, also is funner even a real word

5. Knack look fine for what it is and I rather pay 400 for a good console with good games then 500 when it could 400 if they would just loses the kinect (my opinion)

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

rlow110h ago

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos8h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Eidolon6h ago

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola3h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum3h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola3h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum2h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad5h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola3h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos3h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai5h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK4h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville1h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
