The recent launch of the Sony PS3 Console in the UK has delivered good news to Sega; it's managed to gain a 13 per cent share for the PS3 software market since the launch, with three out of the 5 titles heading to the top 10 in the charts.

Alan Pritchard, Managing Director of Sega UK, said, “We are very pleased to have achieved the status of the number one third party publisher at the launch of the Sony PS3, Sega has continued to increase its Market Share considerably over the last 18 months, and this is indicative of the investment that the company continues to put toward next generation development. We look forward to further success on PS3 in 2007, with Sega Rally, The Club and The Golden Compass also due for release later this year.”

Sega's European lineup included Sonic the Hedgehog, Full Auto 2, Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3 and World Snooker Championship 2007.
