No history of gaming

Good luck. But yes it will dominate..... In China. So what?

china's online gaming indusrty will be 6.1 billion this year, really dont just assume stuff and underestimate a market because we know little about it. also according to some studies china is the biggest PC gaming market in the world, yup you heard that right! according to studies "China still ranked as the world’s largest gaming market, with 120 million online PC gamers and 160 million mobile gamers.

The US ranked second, with 52 million online PC gamers and 100 million mobile gamers, compared with Taiwan’s 6 million online PC gamers and 9 million mobile gamers"

of course, the market there is complicated and hard to analyse, there is much more to it that meets the eye, but its still a huge potential for sony, or any other compay that enters the chineese market, to sell huge amounts of consoles, check the two links if your free, its quite interesting to see how the chineese market really is

Well its all just Free To Play with microtransactions......PS3 does have a few free to play games tho but I doubt the Chinese market will go crazy over DC Universe Online, Free Realms or Dust 514.....
