| Ruler said: these numbers are very good, the second biggest market UK for example has 4 million consoles by now of both X1 and PS4 together in July 2014 so now consider that in China -both consoles came much later -both consoles were only available in shanghai for a period of time (18 million people) -its only official numbers, unofficial imports could be higher. I dont think China will be as big as USA or Europe as whole but they have a fair change overtaking UK and Japan to be second despite being all about mobile there. The sheer number of consumers are enough for that |
I wouldn't say they're good, but they are expected. People where WAY overhyping the Chinese launch, and its turned out quite soft. Also like it or not, its middle class still only makes a few thousand dollars a year. People don't want to spend 15-20% of their yearly income on a gaming console. Once they start going down to around 200 USD's (around 1200 chinese yen) I could see it much more successful. Until that however, China is going to be a problem. Also with the amount of restricitons on games sold in China, and it only adds to the problem.
