They like PS3 production...Here's another company outside of consoles that's set to benefit from the next-gen console production. Asustek Computer Inc.'s consolidated sales in November soared to 81 percent month-on-month to US $2.59 billion. The figure was also 114 percent higher than November of last year.

Although the company would not comment on why its revenue in November rose, one executive confirms that it is manufacturing the PS3 on behalf of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. There, Asus actually has to thank all of the poor homeless Chinese men who bought a PS3 unit during launch day.

Anyway, Stock market analysts expected the revenue of Asus to rise around 40 to 50 percent month-on-month in November due to the start of global PS3 sales, apparently their estimate was very much shorter compared to the actual increase.

So far sales of the PS3 has been hampered by short supply. If demand for the unit stays constant, and if the shipping of the units catches up, Sony and Asustek looks to profit.
