Translation by myself(Not google this time lol):

 

Today in the 2014 Shanghai game industry report meeting, the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group revealed that Microsoft and Sony had sold over 300,000 units of games in their official China's consoles

 

According to weibo of @六段音速(http://www.weibo.com/p/1005051154102490), the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group finally published partial of the China's consoles sales data. Microsoft and Sony managed to sell over 300,000 units of games(digital + physical), 40 games was released(8 domestic), 20 was still waiting for approval, 60 in development, more than 150 developers have signed contract.

 

Among the games submitted in Shanghai for approval, the video games accounted for 5.1%. The strategic plan for dometic video games: integration of platforms (xbox + ps4), integration of resources, establish standards and improve the ecosystem(media, cp, government). The target is to achieve 10 bilion industry scale after 3 years, 3 million core users, release 100 games every year, hardware/software be 3/1 (ps4 first phase is about 3.25 / 1).

 

On the weibo, @六段音速 said that although the share of video games is far less than mnobile, but has become something that cannot be ignored, especially in a 10-billion scale market. There are a lot of people around me who fought for this 5.1% for a decade . Whether or not the data can become the same level as mobile games in the future, as long as China's people know about video games, our efforts paid off(LMAO when I heard this coming from the month of an extrame Sony fanboy editor and ultra Nintendo hater).

Just FYI, offical XB1 and PS4 can play imported physical games that didn't get approval. Also, imported PS4s and PSVs can play China's official games(but not on XB1).

These numbers are a good start, keep in mind it was mostly open to shanghai first
