Sony previously said that it would deliver 100,000 units to the territory on Nov. 11.
In Sept., Sony said it would cut Japan and U.S. launch quantities to 500,000 from 1 million units. The U.S. is expected to receive 400,000 units when it drops to retail on Nov. 17.
A delay would mean loss in sales for the next Playstation machine, which will include the advanced Cell processor and Blu-ray disc drive.
Sony last week announced a 94% drop in profit, partly due to the a price cut for the 20GB PS3. The company lowered the price of the 20GB SKU to $430 U.S. due to strong competition from Microsoft and Nintendo.
Microsoft will debut a Xbox 360 Core System to Japan on Nov. 2 for $256 U.S. Meanwhile, Nintendo will drop Wii to Japan on Dec. 2 for $212 U.S.
