Despite its low-key entrance in SA, Ster-Kinekor Games says the PlayStation 3 (PS3) is selling well. According to the company, the console was almost sold out across SA by the end of the launch weekend last month.
"The consumers have been fantastic in their response to the machine," says Lana Pike, marketing executive of Ster-Kinekor Games.
According to David Hadassin, CEO of Ster-Kinekor Games, the company expects the sales of the PS3 to remain high over the next few months.
However, there is still speculation around how many units were brought into SA. Business Report quotes a source saying 10 000 units were shipped for the launch. Budget Technologies owner Shannon Rogotzki, whose company is one of the PS3 resellers, says only 5 000 units were brought into the country.
"I cannot confirm the amount of units brought in; however, owing to the fact that we are not quite sold out, one can conclude that there were enough brought into SA for launch," says Pike.
Hadassin says the consoles will be shipped in throughout this month to meet demand.
