PlayStation 3 Price in Nigeria (Brand New)

One of the most amazing things about the PS3 is its market value. Despite that fact that the gaming console isn’t the latest Sony gaming product, it still maintains amazing market value. The main problem PS3 faces in the market today is the accessibility. They are not readily available and the introduction of more recent versions of Sony video games have overshadowed the market of PS3.

Brand new PlayStation 3 gaming consoles vary in prices depending on the store. On average, a brand new PS3 can be gotten for between N55,000 – N70,000. The variation in the price is as a result of some factors which include the internal memory of the console, period and place of purchase. It should be noted that gaming consoles are generally more expensive during festive periods, vacations and towards the end of the year.

PlayStation 3 Review in Brief

PS3 is not Sony’s latest PlayStation model. In fact, it is not among the top latest gaming consoles. The introduction of PlayStation 4 has not only reduced the market value of PS3 to some significant extent, but the demand in the market has also reduced. Yet, PS3 remains among the most sought-after gaming consoles in the market.

Sony introduced the PlayStation many years ago and the consoles have since then ruled the video game market. The PlayStation 3 was introduced when the gaming industry was becoming a real deal. Released after the largely successful and popular PS 2, play station 3 needed little introduction as the former already opened the floor for the gaming experience. Although PlayStation 4 has been released and has eclipsed the reign of PS3 in recent times, it is still worth looking at the gaming console.

The console is designed after the old model PS 2 but is curvier and quite bulkier. Also, a stylish silver band runs down the disk tray and through the console, giving it a more classy look with an elegant finish. Like most other Sony gaming consoles, PS3 can be easily positioned upright and horizontally and the PlayStation emblem on the disk tray can be easily adjusted to matching whichever position you choose. With the lovely design and support, you wouldn’t be bothered about the console falling off when you place it horizontally.

It is easy to see why the PlayStation 3 has won the market in Nigeria. Sony has stunned the market with the introduction of PS1, and PS2 over the past few years, virtually ruling the gaming world and dictating the general gaming industry.  The introduction of PS3 and other latest amazing Sony gaming experience leaves you pondering a question in your mind: Can Sony ever stop being creatively amazing and exciting?
