It's seems that Sony is finally willing to offer more details on the PlayStation 3's production, and has announced that assembly of the console will begin at the end of this month. This is the first official release concerning production, since Sony President Kaz Hirai said that production of the PlayStation 3 had yet to begin last month.

According to the gamedaily.com article, Sony again reaffirmed its decision to ship a total of 6 million PlayStation 3s worldwide by next Mach, even though the company will not be meeting its goal of 4 million units by the end of this year.

In addition to launch plans, Sony also announced that more details of its online plans will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show this year, which is held from September the 22nd to the 24th. Sony seem to be putting more weight on online play this generation, and has previously promised gamers free online play.

The PlayStation 3 will launch on November 11th in Japan and November 17th in North America.
