dont know where you got those from http://news.xbox.com/2014/07/xbox-one-launch-in-china-september  the suggested retail price is between 99 to 248 yuan  which is between 16 to 40

Online retail prices in mainland china, as well as in-store prices for preorders in china, too.

I should probably use this moment to state that while I live in Japan, I work for a company based in China designing and manufacturing PC, Console and mobile addons/accessories. so I am in mainland china and around HK a lot.

Prices across china are more or less the same as the prices in the US, and for virtually all hk/china residents, that's what actually matters.

Lol MS marketing a "suggested" retail price to make it appear that games will be cheap.

I do wonder if there was a deliberate intent to initially mislead the market with all this "not locked" stuff and get people hyped, in the hope that people wouldn't notice when the opposite turns out to be true. THREAD HIJACK: kinda like the initial hype around EA Access dying down now that the reality of what you'll get for $30 a year has kicked in, and the implications of several publisher subscription passes is dawning on people. /THREAD HIJACK
