Well theirs a few hurtles Sony has to over come.
First hurtle, home consoles are pretty much banned in China. Gaming is also heavily policed with a set amount of time a day a person can legally play games. This will make it difficult for Sony to bring PSP/2 and PS3/4 to China. Also gaming in China is riddled with piracy and internet cafe's where gamers go to play their games. How will Sony get those gamers to abandone PC's and enter console gaming. Then theirs PSN, China heavily polices the internet in their country and Sony would have to give the Government access to their servers and information so that the police and Government could monitor PSN activity.

There is no law here prohibiting or limiting the use of game consoles here...though xbox live doesnt work well behind the great firewall of china. This country is full of gaming addicts...My crew used to enjoy power marathons of warcraft and CS all day all night in the netbars. Thats a common thing and no one stops them- no law against being a hardcore gamer
However, for better or worse, there is a law that states all foreign companies must create a joint venture with a local outfit in order to fully access the market...thats we have the I-QUE DS.
