Pre-orders for next-generation consoles are higher than any console launch in history, and both Microsoft and Sony have ramped up production to maintain with demand.

A DigiTimes report today states that shipments of components for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are expected to “boom” within the holiday quarter. The report’s unnamed “Taiwan-based supply chain makers” are quoted as saying that top pre-orders for next-gen consoles have surprised even Sony and Microsoft, and the manufacturers were pressuring component makers to deliver because the second quarter of 2013.

Reportedly, the unique plan was for component shipments to extend slowly over August and September before hitting their peak in October. However, DigiTimes’ sources state that pressure from Sony and Microsoft has ended in increased shipments and that component shipments already peaked sometime in September. Peak shipment volumes are predicted to be sustained through the fourth quarter of 2013 and probably beyond.

Sony recently announced that it already has over 1 million PlayStation 4 pre-orders. Microsoft has not discusses pre-order estimates, but is presumably doing well in at the least the North American market. Microsoft has packed-in EA Sports’ FIFA 14 with pre-ordered Xbox One consoles in Europe to reinforce its numbers in that market. Rumors this summer held that the Xbox One was seeing manufacturing delays over poor yields of a few components. Both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are expected to sell out of obtainable stock on their respective launch days.
