Asustek started shipping PS3, lawsuit imminent?

Posted on Friday, 21 July 2006 by Speed, source: TaipeiTimes
Over at TaipeiTimes is word that AsusTek (aka hardware manufacturor Asus) has begun shipping Playstation3 consoles to Sony

The report said Asustek this month would begin shipping 200,000 PlayStation3 consoles per month, rising to 2 million in October, allowing Sony to debut the PS3 in November, the Chinese-language Commercial Times said yesterday, without saying where it got the information

Although no confirmation has been given, the source of the Chinese paper may very well be correct as AsusTek has sent out note that they may seek legal action

Asustek said it may take legal action against the newspaper to protect its clients and investors if their interests were damaged by the report.

Other comments from both Sony and AsusTek are - as usual - quite trite:

"We have said we will start assembling the consoles in Japan and China from summer," said Daisuke Nakata, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, a division of Sony.

Asustek's main production facility is in Suzhou, China, Chang (AsusTek) said, declining to confirm that the PS3 was being made there.
