Okay so there is a HUGE issue that will pretty much make it impossible for them:

The unlocked Xbox Ones are cheaper than the locked government controlled one?!?!.
And the imported PS4s are more popular than the unlocked cheaper Xbox Ones.

I don't understand WHY the 'legit' console is so expensive to begin with. I was under the impression that the government mandated that the units be produced in China. So why the hell are they more expensive then imported units. I am suspicious of SMG.

It must be rules set by the Chinese government. Maybe they don't want X1 to sell for a low price. If the grey market price is cheaper than the actual price then that's really bad cause usually things sold on the black market imported from another country are sold at a much higher price then what they actually cost in the first place. 

It is so backwards its does seem like a setup... Think about it this way:

The legit Xbox One doesn't even play Halo and its more expensive.

Yeah, I'm surprised it was even able to sell 100k consoles there when it launched.
