I believe that is the main reason for these exclusive launches and sales to existing broadband customers.
Had it just gone on sale like in the west, it would probably fall prey to scalpers/resellers, jacking their price up on the black market, and making it much more expensive to regular consumers. I have no idea what XOne costs right now in China via "entrepreneurs", but it surely is much more than $550.
Heck, it even happened in EU with PS4, after Nov. 29 you could only buy them for about €700, and those at Amazon from "independent sellers".
