MAJOR MOMENTUM The Dallas Morning News Mon, Dec 15 1997 Sony Corp. is gaining some serious sales momentum for PlayStation. The Japanese electronics giant sold more than 1 million of the game consoles last month. To put that in context, Sony has sold 6.4 million PlayStations in North America since they were introduced in September 1995. Why the sudden boom? Sony officials believe the company has reached a critical mass of available software titles. The PlayStation now has more than 300 titles available. Among the most popular are NFL GameDay '98 and Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing game. The traditional market for electronic games is 6- to 14-year-old boys, said Jeff Fox, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment America. But the company has been trying to attract other family members, he said. A furry character in the game Crash Bandicoot 2, for example, is intended to appeal to boys and girls equally, Mr. Fox said. o~~~ O
