Sony has moved to reassure punters in European territories that the company is only too well aware that folk are becoming increasingly frustrated over the lack of titles available on the region’s PlayStation Store.
Despite this, however, the platform holder was keen to point out that the staggered release schedule is down to third party publishers, and not something Sony has any form of control over.
Said Angela Madronero, European PlayStation Store manager: "The decision about whether and when to release a game for sale is in the hands of the individual publisher. In the same way that the publisher decides when to launch the disc version of a game, they also decide if and when PlayStation Network content is made available.”
"We know that there is a lot of frustration when content is released on one store but not another. I can confirm that from a PlayStation Store point of view, we are committed to supporting our third party partners in bringing as much content as possible to the European Store."
Madronero went on to underline a number of reasons as to why content is delayed in various regions, highlighting various hiccups such as technical glitches, digital rights issues and localisation requirements.
