Sony also revealed on Wednesday that it is working on 10 mobile gaming titles including those that will be released next year.
Some of the 10 mobile gaming titles will include 'PaRappa the Rapper' and 'Arc The Lad'. Availability will first set in Japan then to other Asian countries and eventually more countries --- depending on how successful the games are.
The announcement comes just a week before Nintendo debuts 'Super Mario Run' on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. For only $9.99, the endless runner game will have its debut in App Stores on December 15.
