China is huge, as an economy, in territory and in population. The Chinese console market, however, is tiny... This has all been said before about other consoles, but the fact remains that China and India won't be a factor in the console wars at all, when all is said and done, I full expect the One and other consoles to have sold less than 1/5 of Japanese sales, despite having more than 10 times the population.

The Chinese console market is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, the console market isn't there at the moment. But it does have potential to be a big market, it's unlikely this gen but if a company can get a decent foothold there then maybe next gen China can be a decent sized market. By that I mean about the size of some of the major European countries, but that's still worth having.

Anyway, If the market become huge, it will certainly become huge for everyone, and probably especially big for the company that is first in every single other country.
