100k sold would be newsworthy in a year chock full of bad X1 PR. Iow, they would banner that in the press release area. It's okay, China is not a console market, and it will be a waste of time and resources for Sony as well.

Im sure some said same about it and its automotive market.  

Cars =! Game Consoles.

It's not a dig against China. Nobody is saying there aren't people there that CAN afford game consoles.

It's a cultural issue, and the facts are that consoles are not going to succeed in China any time soon. The market for what it is has already been sewn up with Phones and PCs. But overall, gaming just isn't respected over there, it's looked down on. And the spare income of the middle class goes towards (1)- Savings, (2)- Vehicle/Home, and (3)- Outward 'show-off' items such as iPhones, Macbooks, designer shoes, etc.

If you want to know what I'm talking about to a similar extent, look at South Korea. They have an overall awesome economy, but game consoles are nearly irrelevant there due to PC and the other factors above.

Korea is weird, but china is to big to ignore.  Even if but a small percantage adopt console gaming that mean sales in the millions. The balck market for consoles is in the millions is it not.
