Interesting...

That could cut both ways but I'm willing to bet it would be adjusted up not down, given the recent poll that suggested more Chinese gamers want the PS4.

Yeah I saw one of those polls... had 6:1 favorablility over the Xbox One... but I think 500-600k may be more they they can do at launch.   We have to start speculating what this means for Sony.   People are people wherever you go so I expect the PS4 to lead China as well. 

Perhaps Sony are being very careful with the markets. If they can only produce a certain amount of consoles a year, they'll be pretty confident they can sell more PS4s next year in Japan/US/Europe. It wouldn't be wise to suddenly ship a huge ammount of consoles to Chine only to realise they haven't got enough for the two most important regions: UK/US (in terms of stopping MS getting any footing). If it sells well in China, perhaps they'll up production but I'm betting they're working on a 'wait and see' policy. MS probably committed to more consoles because at present they can produce more than they can sell.
