I didn't even know there were that many PS3s in China to make this worthwhile.
For a while Sony and Nintendo have been trying to get a good foothold on the chinese market but piracy, government and gaming restrictions have proven a stubborn obstacle.
This is an obstacle that is becoming more and more necessary to get over as the main markets saturate and the Chinese citizens growing economic might is proving to be too difficult to ignore.
China has a lot of people and a tiny 0.5% of the population buying a console is 7m sold.
The games the government would allow is a different matter but FFXIII is a step in the right direction and could be the start of something that becomes much bigger.
I hope it does well.
