sounds possible. I don't know if in the Chinese culture they have the end holiday period that drives sales or not. If not, then it will be difficult.


It sound spossible if you live in fairy land.china won't be much of a market


2 billion people there. If 10% of the population have acess to enough money to have a gaming habit, it will mean a 200 million people market. Even in Brazil we have a 37% of the population in the middle class with a buying power in averages of 30.000 dollars a year.

If 10% of their middle class get into gaming, this would mean a 20 million consoles market, probably one of the five largest markets.

Remember, China is lending money to USA in volumes no smaller than 200 billion, that means a lot of of money to spare there. 

When the pop decides to expend a little of this volume in their own lifes, it will be a gigantic game changer.


China has 1.3 billion, not 2 billion.  700 million people is way off.  More than two US populations off.  And India has 1.2 billion.  Are they going to buy millions of Xbox Ones.  I'm sure you're going to comment about China's economy, blah blah blah, but my point is numbers mean nothing.  China has been lending money to the U.S. for years.  That hasn't changed the console market one bit.  

China has never had an effect on console sales.  Any of them. Ever.  Why should I assume that they will now?

Console games were banned from the country in the early 2000s, but the ban was lifted in 2013. The Xbox One will NOT be only console launched there. I expect all three (PS4 and WiiU) consoles to sell at least 1 million till the end of 2015 in China.


Okay.  If you say so...
