Sony’s sold a serious number of PlayStation 4 consoles since the system’s launch in November last year – a respectable 10 million units to be precise – but it’s had a free run at the market in many regions. While the Xbox One is already available in key countries such as the USA and the UK, it’s only just arrived in some of the territories that Microsoft itself described as "Tier 2". So, how is the Japanese giant greeting its new competitor?
Well, over in Belgium, the platform holder posted a simple welcome message, using the DualShock’s famous face buttons to send some hugs and kisses in Redmond’s direction. PlayStation Denmark took its introduction a little further, though, shooting a two minute trailer in which a couple of hooded delinquents spray paint a hello on a big blue banner and hang it outside of Microsoft’s regional offices. Of course, the clip’s polished off with an obligatory spot of dubstep.
Welcome to the game, and all that.

@BLPs Changed!
@BLPs Agreed - it's iconic, innit.
EDIT: Plus, this website's name would be mucked up if they did, so they better not!
"Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice" O.o
I like the minimalist xoxo of the Belgium ad, it's classy. The video is more run of the mill trying to be edgy.
Also....the tortoise and the hare...I'm assuming since the PS4 got to the regions faster it's meant to be the Hare? So the old adage of 'slow and steady wins the race' is in play and Xbox as the tortoise is going to take over the PS4 and win the race? Lol.
Isn't it welcome TO Belgium? And btw that song on the video was far from dubstep :s
All slightly pointless, I live in Belgium then I buy from France or Germany no? Yes.
Hm...they misspelled MS's console; forgot the B.
@BLPs Batman Arkham Asylum!
Who cares.
I wouldn't greet anything to do with Microsoft. Might greet them holding a Rocket Launcher tho
@Carl-G I was thinking something Sony Exclusive lol, like the Arc Thrower in Killzone 2 or the Chicken gun from Ratchet And Clank.
They should have had a Delsin Rowe do the deed.
@Munkyknuts Old adage probably doesn't apply in the case of retail
