| Puppyroach said: It will be very interesting to see if either X1 or PS4 can get any traction in China. It is a market heavily flooded with piracy and PC seems to be the main choice for alot of people instead of consoles. Anything can change though. |
100% correct!
and that is why Sony is concentrating on this:
Playstation TV is set to launch with a price point of around $102.00 USD
Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, explains that Sony hopes to use the Vita TV to penetrate the Chinese gaming market, where video game consoles have previously been prohibited. The Vita TV was released in five other Southeast Asian countries and the special region of Hong Kong on January 16, 2014. At E3 2014, the system was announced for North America and Europe, under the name PlayStation TV, for release in Q3 2014.
.Price $102.00 USD
.Free 2 PLAY and Price friendly Gaming is very Big in china WHICH SONY IS NOT SHY OF FREE 2 PLAY SUPPORT
.Back Catalog is quit sizeable
.Cheaper to produce and Ship in china itself
.Already support's Unity3D even with PSM thus even Indie or small studios use such Engine
. Every Playstation TV is outright can be used to test your built Code prior to Publish
Sony has already released the Playstation TV is not only Japan , and Hong Kong but 6 other regions in Asia!
as for the uphill battle to get your software to pass the Govt. In China for inspection
take note:
In total, the investments from Sony Corp. into everything totals to roughly 1318.9 million RMB, which equates about $211.5 million dollars. The entire operation is going to enlist the talents of local game developers within China so that they can get an edge with exclusive content on Playstation platforms within the country, and to help promote growth within the Chinese video game industry.
That will most likely mean many existing Ports of Mobile Game's in china being ported over to the Playstation TV off the start, but should if the unit really takes off in Mainland China be much bigger software development by publishers and indie studios in China.
In My opinion Quite a few MMO's that are Mobile out of china may be getting ready to be ported to the unit.
I AM BOLO
