Sony Europe plans to release six new regional language games in India this year, reports the Business Standard. The company, which supposedly controls 80 percent of the gaming market, currently has a hit on its hands with regional title Hanuman. Atindriya Bose, country manager for Sony PlayStation, explained that Hanuman sold 10,000 units on its first day and that a good international title sells about 3,000-4,000 units on launch day, which "proved the potential of regional games."

Hanuman is currently expected to sell 50,000 units in its first year, up from its original projection of 30,000 in sales. Even with that original sales figure, Bose expressed an international title may only sell about 15,000 units in one year. The company now plans to create more educational and entertainment titles, including a game about the "Mumbai underworld."

Blizzard is holding the WoW and Warcraft III regional finals at the House of Blues in San Diego. The event is today and tomorrow and starts at 11AM pacific today. Admission is free.

You can check out the brackets and make shady bets at the bar, or just spend some time with your fellow geeks. Either way, it'll get you out of Azeroth for a couple hours, a little human interaction, buffalo wings and drinks does a body good. Who knows, maybe Blizzard will be giving out goodies. The competitors are playing for cash and tickets to BlizzCon.
