The launch of the Playstation 4 took place in another 17 countries.

Game console Playstation 4 continues to walk victoriously around the planet, winning the hearts of new players. Just the other day, the PS4 began selling in another 17 countries.

Recall that the Playstation 4 went on sale in the US and Canada on November 15 this year. November 29, she began to be sold in 29 other countries, including European countries (which include Russia), as well as Australia. Now you can buy a new console in the Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, South Africa, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.

During December, the Playstation 4 should go on sale in several other Asian countries. For example, on December 16, the console was launched in South Korea, where PC-games and e-sports exclusively dominate. The director of the Korean division of Sony, Shiro Kawauchi, was so moved during the official launch, when he saw how joyfully the people of South Korea were taking a new Japanese console that they could not contain their senses and started a tear. Such a warm reception of PS4 in South Korea is also surprising because this state has not the warmest relations with Japan in recent years.

It turns out that currently residents of 49 countries can buy a Playstation 4, while the Xbox One is currently sold only in 13 territories. It is not known when the sales of the Microsoft console in other markets start, as they try to keep this information secret. But in our country, Xbox One should not be expected until the second half of 2014.

The shortage on the Playstation 4 is still relevant. The next batch of 12,000 PS4 consoles, which Sony delivered to the online store Amazon.com was sold out in 27 minutes. People purchased almost 450 set-top boxes per minute, which is quite a high figure. Sony management promises to increase the supply of consoles in the near future and provide them with everyone who wishes for the New Year holidays. Let me remind you that as of December 1, 2013, more than 2 million Playstation 4 have been sold worldwide.

In February next year, PS4 will finally go on sale in Japan, too, in its homeland. Sony representatives explained this delay by the fact that they want to prepare a special line of games for the Japanese market, as well as qualitatively translate most of the western projects into Japanese. In fact, this situation arose for the first time in the history of the Playstation brand. As a rule, new Sony consoles first appeared in their homeland and only after some time began to conquer the foreign market.
