Reports that Xbox One’s shipment forecast for 2013 has been cut from seven million to 6.2 million units because of poor yield rates are inaccurate, Microsoft’s senior director of product management and planning Albert Penello has told VG247.
Chinese publication Economic Daily News reported that Microsoft is struggling with yield rates for the Kinect camera, optical disc drive and assembly.
But that isn’t the case, claims Penello.
“That report is incorrect. We have not lowered shipping volumes, and are actually seeing better than expected yields from our silicon,” explained Penello.
“We just returned from Gamescom where we showed the overwhelming majority of content on Xbox One near-final hardware. We also just rolled out a widespread employee beta and remain on track for a November launch this year.”
Xbox One remains without a firm release date, but will hit stores in November priced £429.
