                            -FUCK SEGA SATURN-
                                 PRESENTS:

             300,000 PSX'S AND OVER 1 MIO. GAMES SOLD IN USA!


   FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1995--Sony  Computer
Entertainment America (SCEA) Monday announced that 300,000  Sony PlayStation
game consoles have been sold since the system's  landmark introduction on
Sept. 9 of this year.

   Additionally, high software sales of more than 1 million game  titles have
resulted in an unprecedented 4-to-1 tie ratio (four  titles per game
console).

   "This is phenomenal news -- exciting for everyone involved in  the launch
of the PlayStation, especially our retailers and  consumers," said Jim Whims,
senior vice president, SCEA.  "Several  retailers are still in a sold-out
situation, and demand for software  continues to increase as the installed
base grows.  Our goal is to  gear up for what we anticipate will be a
fabulous holiday season.

   "These hardware statistics, coupled with impressive software  sales, are
going to make the PlayStation a difficult package to  beat."

    The 1 million units of software sold to date include Sony  titles, as
well as titles from third-party developers, including  Acclaim, Crystal
Dynamics, Electronic Arts, Namco, Ocean of America  and Ubi Soft.

   Specifically, "Battle Arena Toshinden"  and Namco's "Ridge Racer" are
currently selling at a ratio of nearly 1-to 1 (one title for  every
PlayStation game console).

   In additional to the success of PlayStation hardware and  software,
performance and convenience "peripherals," such as extra  game console
controllers and memory cards (which allow players to  "save" advanced stages
of game play to be reaccessed at a later date),  have sold exceptionally
well.

   "Demand for PlayStation peripherals continues to exceed supply,"  said
Whims.  "Incredibly, we have shipped the same number of memory  cards to
retails as actual hardware units."

   With record sales of more than a quarter of a million units in  just over
six weeks, SCEA is anticipating that the PlayStation will  be this year's
leader among the next-generation video game  platforms.

   According to Peter Roithmayr, merchandising director at The  Electronics
Boutique, "The Sony PlayStation continues to be the  dominant video game
hardware at our stores, by far outselling the  Sega Saturn.  Every new piece
of PlayStation software we get goes  straight to the top of our sales charts.
We are ecstatic with the  sellthrough."

   Sony Computer Entertainment America, a division of Sony  Interactive
Entertainment Inc., is based in Foster City.  The  company markets the
PlayStation for distribution in North America,  publishes PlayStation
software for the North American market, and  manages the U.S. third-party
licensing program.  Sony Interactive  Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony
Corp. of America, has  headquarters in New York.
