TOKYO: Sony Corp announced the Japanese release of its PlayStation 4 on Monday as the electronics maker braces for a console war with Microsoft Corp that could make or break the Japanese firm's struggle to return to profit.
Sony said it will launch the PS4 on February 22 in Japan, three months later than its November 15 release in the United States. The basic version of the PS4 will retail for 39,980 yen (RM1,328.65), in line with its North American US$399 (RM1,322.29) price tag. That compares with US$499 (RM1,653.69) for Microsoft's Xbox One, which will be rolled out on Nov 22.
