PlayStation in El Kadsre

The PlayStation (AKA PlayStation 1 and PSX) was released in El Kadsre on December 10, 1994 (one week after the Japanese launch) and was manufactured by Approach Software.

The EKANI market received multiple exclusive PS1 models, that include SPH-1003, SCPH-2000, SCPH-5504, SCPH-5553, SCPH-7004, SCPH-7504, SCPH-9004 and SCPH-104.

It was most popular video game console in El Kadsre during the late-1990s, outselling Theorysonic Sphere Box, Theorysonic Chaos, NEC PC-FX, FM Towns, Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn, although it had a slow start when it was released and its sales skyrocketed sometime in 1997.

Marketing
From 1997 to 2000, the PSX marketing campaign was identical to the console's European campaign, with TBWA El Kadsre City Inc., an El Kadsre City-based marketing agency, handling it. National TV, magazine, and billboards ads were installed in that timeframe featuring the 4 PlayStation controller symbols in order to create mystery around the console.

Two slogans were used during the 1997-2000 campaign; these were "Do not underestimate the power of PlayStation" (English) and よい子とよいおとなの (Japanese).
