This SHOULD be a ZhugeEX thread. I suppose he's kinda busy.

On other sights, it's good to see more interest in the Chinese market. Let's see how big it could become.

Just noticed this thread, also thought it's ZhugeEX's...still hoping for him to write that article about China's mini-consoles, I think that can potentially be massive market, overshadowing consoles there.

Anyway, good to see some news from China, my guess is once their devs really start getting into console market, like Eastern Europe did back in days, there will be some really great and novel AAA games from there.

 

Even I am surprised this isn't my thread :P

But yes, excellent idea for a thread and I will certainly be contributing if there is demand.

@Holodust- Have you seen this article- https://zhugeex.com/2016/04/fuze-to-launch-new-games-console-will-rival-sony-microsoft-in-china/

Shanghai Oriental Pearl, the distributor for Sony & MS in China, have sold 500,000 units of hardware as of the end of 2015. There is no split given but it looks like the PS4 is leading the way. 

Please note that the above does not include imported console sales, it only counts official Chinese version.

 

Btw, sorry to plug my stuff but if you are interested in China market then you can follow me on twitter or subscribe to my website as I always post lots of stuff about China market there :) 

I have an article coming this week about PS4 1 year anniversary in China and how consoles are doing there.

Make your own thread, will you ?

Interesting thread.

Although I have not been actually looking out for them, I managed to see 1 Xboxone on sale in 6 (big) cities during my one and a half month visit to China this year. I found no love for Ps4, but also not much love for Sony, which is supposed to be a 'bad' brand from what i hear. (mind you, just hearsay)

I have seen people playing mmo's in the slowly dying market of internet shops, at home and on otherwise available Pc's.
Lots of people playing on their phones as well.

Beautiful country though, everyone should visit!

Thanks mate, that's exactly what I waited for...I'm really eager to see how it all develops in next few years, both with Chinese devs and consoles.

Read the blog good well written, intresting that Fuze console has the same controller as Xbox, and neither Xbox or Playstation are making much of an impact.



So I just finished my in depth report on Sony's first year in China. Please take a look-

While the numbers are small relatively the population of the country, but you have to understand that official sales aren't a old thing for China. For all purposes, it'a new untapped market for consoles. We'll see a lot of growth it as time goes.

Nice work!

I didnt't finish reading yet though. I could hardly spot any console on sale in China during my 1.5 month visit which included Guangzhou and Shenzhen. (Although i cant really judge Shenzhen) In Guangzhou i spotted one, almost lost, stack of Xboxes somewhere.

Or is it just the size of the country and its cities that seems to be the problem here?
