Consoles are simply too expensive to be appealing to a chinese gamer. Micro consoles are very low quality as evidenced by sales so that's also a no go for chinese gamers as they too have standards. As for the WII U It'll probably be regarded in the same way as the microconsoles. The steambox doesn't have a chance in hell at succeeding either and the chinese gamers will probably see it as another ouya.
What will work is low end PCs or a 300$ PS4/X1 provided that the games are priced at a maximum of 40$ and ideally 30$. What I really see taking off in China is portables and that especially goes for the 3DS as these platforms have cheaper games and can potentially offer much higher quality experiences than smartphones as they have tactile feedback such as the controls to differentiate themselves but what will be required for this to work is that the games for them need to be priced at 20$.
Note: Don't go about nagging that I'm trolling on the WII U seeing as how it is getting massively rejected by the market so this only further proves my point why the chinese gamers will "regard the WII U in the same way like a microconsole".
