for china the right price is free. until a cultural shift takes place in which the IP/patent/copyright rights of others is respected sony won't sell well there.  they will pirate or play something else that can be pirated. even the emerging Chinese middle class is quite poor by western standards. 

They have more money than you might think. My wife is trying to open a business to sale brand items to people in China. That includes stuff like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and other purses as well as many baby products. There is a huge demand for brand items from the West. They are willing to spend a lot of money. Gaming might be a whole different story though. The PS3 though was never pirated in China but the Wii and 360 was. You could buy pirated games out in the open at the little street of video game stores I went to in Kunming, China.
