'Sony Ships 16 Million PS4's In 2013'

Sony wants to ship a massive 16 million Playstation 4 consoles in 2013, Digitimes reports. Foxconn and Pegatron Technology will produce the device. Shipment will start in august so the products will hit the stores before the holidays.

The number of 16 million sounds surreal. Probably Sony means the fiscal year 2013 wich ends in the spring of 2014. The Playstation 3 was sold 3,5 million times in the first six months. In the fiscal year 2010 Sony sold 14,3 million devices which is still the best year ever for Sony.

HTC One SC ,Designed for China

From the front HTC's One SC looks right at home alongside the company's One series of smartphones launched earlier this year, but flip it over and it's a whole other story. The SC has a unique segmented design dominated by an HTC logo set into a ridged pattern, with a separate metallic section housing the camera and flash.

Inside, however, the phone is pretty run of the mill, with a 1Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 5-megapixel camera. The asymmetrical design is nothing if not eye-catching, but for now the phone is only set to see release in China. Next to the Japan-only HTC J, we'd say it's a toss-up as to which country got the better deal.
