Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game console is expected to hit shelves in Korea next month. According to game industry insiders on Wednesday, Sony Computer Entertainment Korea asked its head office in Japan to finalize the release date of the PS3 in Korea, which is likely to be June.
SCEK is currently working out sales details with the head office, including pricing and models that will be available. Once the Japanese headquarters gives the go ahead, SCEK will launch an aggressive marketing campaign in Korea. The industry is predicting that Sony will release in Korea a deluxe model of the PS3 with a wireless LAN adapter and a 60GB hard disk priced between W500,000 and W600,000 (US$1=W923).
The PS3 was launched in Japan and North America last November and in Europe in March. The game machine has been struggling against the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft's Xbox 360 because of its high price and supply limitations.
Over 100,000 Xbox 360s have been sold in Korea since it was released in February 2006.
More Sales Awsome...
