PS3Sony Computer Entertainment president Kaz Hirai has said the company hasn't decided which territory to launch the new PlayStation 3 in first.

Traditionally, Sony's new consoles have been launched first in Japan, with other territories following later:

In an interview with the CNBC network, Hirai denied that Sony had already decided to start selling the console only in Japan next year, before releasing it in North America around next September.

"We haven't determined which territory we will go with first this time around just yet," he said.

"We will have to look at development and how things are coming along in terms of manufacture and all the other logistical things to determine which territory or multiple territories go first."

PS3 means game over for Microsoft: Sony
