Forums - Gaming Discussion - What about the chinese ?

First a intro...

I read some time ago that the chinese had liftet some kind of embrago band on game consoles, and they now was open for foreign companys

There live 1400 mill people in china..    it's almost 3 times as much as in Europe.. and they do not own any ds, psp, wii, ps3 or xbox360

What that mean is that it's an incredible marked, and that we will see  a great impact on weekly sales (if VGC can and decides to track)

Newer the less.. point is.. it's such a big marked.. Holiday sales level every week (+2 mill consoles) could happen

 

So now it comes..

Do anybody know anything.. Facts..? Links..? what is the time line for this to happen..? any move form Sony, ms or nintendo..?  Neogaf..? romors..? Gossip..? how do you see it..?   And most important.. what does Pachter say

 

-- Hope we can keep the fanboy level low--

If I remember correctly, Pachter said MS would have an advantage in china, but I forgot the reason.

I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

MS was making a special console for the chinese market I believe.

But China is a different market. They don't have the blockbuster culture for games like the west or japan.

But still 1.4B is a lot. So I'm not reeally sure what to think of china



The ban has only been lifted in some districts of Shanghai, not all across China.

Basically, China is "experimenting" with a free trade area in Shanghai, trying to mimic the success of Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Can't have a free trade area with lots of banned shit.
