What is the point of putting a limit to how many X1s can be sold in China? But I believe it'll take a long time to reach that 5 million number anyway even though I think that China can become a huge console market in the next couple years.

They said China could potentially be a market for 50 million consoles so there is demand. Maybe X1 can do well there. 

Yes, I know, I'm just wondering why they would limit the number of consoles that MS is allowed to sell there.

Its China so they probably want to regulate everything.

In other news microsoft officially announces that their sales have increased from 5 million to 10 million catching up and surpassing sony ps4.

LMAO


Yes, that's a funny one, right? As if they could ever reach what makes Sony so outstanding.

Since these are going to be sold out immediately because demand for the one in China is through the roof, can we just add this to X1s total and say it has surpassed the Wii U and caught up to the PS4?



Thanks jlmurph!

I dont think the console market will be as big as everyone expects.
Because of lack of an existing console market gamers in china all have PC's and i dont see them swapping their pcs for consoles



Current Game Machines: 3DS, Wii U, PC.

Currently Playing: X-Com(PC), Smash Bros(WiiU), Banner Saga(PC), Guild Wars 2(PC), Project X Zone(3DS), Luigis Mansion 2(3DS), DayZ(PC)

For some reason I don't think the X1 will manage to sell that much in China!

Nintendo needs to hurry up and release in more countries. MS and Sony have sooooo many countries buying the consoles.

And the limit seems, odd to me. Oh well China WILL be huge once all 3 companies join in......

 

Nintendo has actually been in China since 2002 using the iQue.

So, they are leaving 45 million for PS4. Smart move!

I think your right. Once all 3 are there and they can get in on the console war with the rest of the world it will create a lot more hype than only one releasing.

Just inmagine the comercials. Well we got the xbox 1 come get it since its the only thing we got. Not that convincing.

But Imaging if all 3 are there and they keep hylighting fetures each one hase to pick over the other, it will force a better and agresive marketing campaing and people to choce will have to study each console and look into the future of the upcoming games, pick wich tye has the better exclusives, graphics, price.

Even if the ps4 sells better in china, the xbox one will sell better by having the competition there I think.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
