Sony to expand PlayStation business in South America

According to Sony America boss Jack Tretton, the company is preparing to expand their PlayStation business further into South America, marketing their consoles more in Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.

The company hopes to make $750 million USD in regional sales for the fiscal 2009 year.



At the same time, Tretton added that the PlayStation Network now has 24 million accounts worldwide, but a small number from South America.

Moving to more general facts, Tretton applauded the aging PS2, which still manages to make brisk sales despite being almost a decade old. Tretton says 100 titles will be released for the console in 2009.
