And just right after I leave Malaysia. Well played Sony, well played.

Nice!

Malaysia?

Isn't that the country with a president who is objectively worse than Trump?

Awesome news. Didn't know they were doing these shows in Asia too. Good for the brand.

Ah interesting! Very different, didn't see that coming.

Hopefully it's quite themed.

Huh, that's interesting. Really cool to see Sony put attention to other Asian markets.

Good to see shows crop up in new places. Wonder if there will be any news from this PSX?

If you are to believe some of the projected figures by market research and consulting firms, it's said to be one of, if not the fastest growing regions for gaming in the world. Between 2014-2017 market revenue for the entire region was set to double to over $2 billion. A massive English speaking population (allowing for the adoption of western titles) a growing middle class with increased expenditure, and rapidly developing services and connectivity seem like the driving factors. 

Nah that's Turkey.
