Microsoft has provided a new launch date to expand their worldwide presence as the Wii and PS3 only begin to see manufacturing floors. Next up is South Africa going on sale Friday, September 29 at midnight. Combine this launch with the ones in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland and the Xbox 360 will expand from 16 to 21 countries.
“We’re very excited to be bringing Xbox 360 to gamers in South Africa in time for the upcoming year-end holidays, when we expect to have sold 10 million consoles around the world,†said Chris Lewis, Regional Vice President for EMEA Home and Entertainment Division, Microsoft.
The country’s residents will be able to join the next-generation for R2,669 ($379 USD) for the Core Xbox 360 and R3,669 ($521 USD) for the Premium Xbox 360. At the same time they’ll be able to pick up Project Gotham Racing 3, Kameo and Perfect Dark on launch day as well as the Xbox 360 wireless controller, batter pack and universal media remote accessories.
“South Africa is a country where the appetite for console gaming is growing in leaps and bounds – expanding to Africa allows us to build a successful business ecosystem for our partners, and to bring more gamers amazing next-generation gaming and entertainment experiences,†said Cindy White, South Africa Group Marketing Manager, Microsoft. “We’re committed to ensuring gamers in South Africa have a great Xbox 360 experience. To that end we’re taking steps so that a full portfolio of great games, tailored to appeal to local tastes, is available as well as accessories that complement the gaming experience.â€
With the HD Era soon to kickoff in South Africa, Microsoft isn’t slowing down. Instead they’re thinking bigger. Their next targets include India and Chile.
