"Most Chinese consumers will find it hard to square paying such prices for a luxury video games machine that sits at home"

Hmm, I wonder, will that mean that China will essentially have the same situation as Japan where handhelds will be very popular compared to consoles?


Handheld will always be popular in China mainland cuz kids can always buy one without parents' permission(as long as you have the money lol) and play it at home/school with no intervention from parents or teachers. PSP was so popular cuz you dont have to spend a penny buying games which is a huge benefit for students.

Consoles, on the other hand, are less popular unless you dont live with your parents lol. This is from my real-life experience lol. Also, PC gaming is popular cuz you can always ask your parents to buy you a new one for studying(without mentioning gaming)。
