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.

I will repeat myself but there won't be any success for consoles over there. Some guys already live in China and they said all the consoles are already available over there easily on shop (import market) and black market for a lower price. Nobody buys it.

 


So, Microsoft and Sony will burn millions in a hopeless endevour?

They used to say the same thing about Brazil.


Please be excited.

Do you see Sony/MS/Nintendo in a hurry to put "officially" their consoles over there ? Brazil is really a game changer ? Don't believe me if you want. Just report what some people who live over there said.

I know you want to believe since Xbone even lost US. Sorry to bring you back to Earth...


Brazil is leading to be the third biggest market for game, it will be fourth if China takes off.

Piracy has dwindle a lot since the inception of XBox Live and PSN. Steam, LoL and WoW also helped the official market.

Grey market is still cheaper, but the risks are bigger and there are fewer incetives.

The funny part is that my post has nothing to do with Microsoft winning sales over the PS4. I was very clear that both are investing heavilly in their China´s launch. I would report your post, but it is good to show how you don´t even bother reading the posts before you quote.
