Whenever a new console is released it signals a death sentence for its predecessor. With the PS4 approaching it’s 2nd birthday and showing no signs of sales slowing down it was inevitable that the PS3 would eventually be put to rest. What we didn’t know was when that would occur, today that all changed via a Facebook post from New Zealand’s leading online video game retailer, Mighty Ape games.
Update We received a statement direct from PlayStation New Zealand which stated “SCENZ will not be shipping anymore PlayStation 3 consoles to its retailers however the platform is still available in retail outlets throughout NZ and being supported with peripherals, great new releases and back catalogue software.”
COMINCIA IL PENSIONAMENTO DI PS3?
Con quasi 90 milioni di unità vendute a livello mondiale, oltre 5mila titoli disponibili e quasi 9 anni sulle spalle, PlayStation 3 pare sempre più vicina al suo pensionamento. E l'inizio della fine sembra partire dalla Nuova Zelanda.
Oggi Sony, infatti, ha confermato ufficialmente di aver interrotto la distribuzione della console per questo territorio dove sarà disponibile sino ad esaurimento scorte.
Quale sarà il prossimo mercato a dover salutare PS3?!
