The [[Productcode]] (there is no official name from [[Sony]]) defines a internal numeric coding system and can be compared to a part/catalogue number or a ISBN number for a book. With this code, which every [[Game Titles|Game Title]] contains, it is possible to identify every Game whichever released. [[Sony]] used this system already for releasing their [[Game Titles]] on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. You can find these codes on several positions, printed in the spine from a Game cover & on the top of the pressed Disc (physical [[Game Titles]]), but also as a part from the [[NP Title ID]] and many other [[IDs + labels]] (digital [[Game Titles]]), for example. | The [[Productcode]] (there is no official name from [[Sony]]) defines a internal numeric coding system and can be compared to a part/catalogue number or a ISBN number for a book.

While Sony used various codes for different region areas in Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Asia for their [[Game Titles]] released on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, it seems that there were no regional distinctions on [[Game Titles]] released for the [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]] in general, but every [[Game Titles|Game Title]] use another code compared to the same [[Game Titles|Game Title]] released in another region. Also it seems that there were no distinctions on [[Game Titles]] released directly from Sony Computer Entertainment (''First Party'') or from Third party developers (''Licensed''). | While Sony used various codes for different region areas in Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Asia for their [[Game Titles]] released on PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, it seems that there were no regional distinctions on [[Game Titles]] released for the [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]] in general, but every [[Game Titles|Game Title]] use another code compared to the same [[Game Titles|Game Title]] released in another region.
