China is a PC country.  I can tell you if you dare to bring out a game in China who has not a online multiplayer THE GAME WILL BOMB.

Some facts I have from my local game magazine who had a talk with someone who knows how the gamemarket works in China:


- More than 80% of the gamers are between 18-25 years old. (This especially because of the schoolsystem that is pretty hard and parents who demand a lot of their children when their children goes to the University they will have less classes + have a job where they can buy videogames with) they expect that in 2015   50% of the gamers will be younger than 18.

- In 2003 China made Gaming an official sport and they even have made gaming an official demonstrationsport at the olympic games with this China hopes that gaming will be an official sport at the Olympic games in the future where you can win medals with.

-Games like Warcraft are a huge succes in China (more than 4 million subscribers).

- In 2007 China counted around 46 million gamers who played at their PC's at home or at one of the 185.000 Internetbars who are registered in China who all together spended 1.7 billion dollars to their hobby they expect that in 2010 the Chinese gamer community spends around 6 Billion dollars for their hobby.

- Also more and more gamecompany's are opening a company in China at the moment EA, Ubisoft and Microsoft have atleast one gamecompany in China but also companies like Epic, Activision and THQ are working together with studio's in China who are making 3D modals for them at a low cost.
