You are gullible. Don't take the bait, he's been trolling constantly the last couple-o days


How am I gullible?
Did i respond with some essay about how the PS3 will become the #1 best-selling electronic device in China? No.

I DIDN'T take the bait.

Good luck. But yes it will dominate..... In China. So what?


china's online gaming indusrty will be 6.1 billion this year, really dont just assume stuff and underestimate a market because we know little about it. also according to some studies china is the biggest PC gaming market in the world, yup you heard that right! according to studies "China still ranked as the world’s largest gaming market, with 120 million online PC gamers and 160 million mobile gamers.

The US ranked second, with 52 million online PC gamers and 100 million mobile gamers, compared with Taiwan’s 6 million online PC gamers and 9 million mobile gamers"

of course, the market there is complicated and hard to analyse, there is much more to it that meets the eye, but its still a huge potential for sony, or any other compay that enters the chineese market, to sell huge amounts of consoles, check the two links if your free, its quite interesting to see how the chineese market really is

This means almost nothing.

HD console sales in Korea are dismal, in the few hundred thousands, and that's for a 50 million nation with a population much wealthier than China's.

And how much does the PS3 sell in Russia? 50K per year? 100K? And Russia is a 140 million nation with a significantly wealthier population than China's.

So we're probably looking at a million PS3s lifetime in China, or two if lucky.

There was no bait in the first place. Now answer my question; why am I unbelievable?

It's impossible to say, but we know that China is developing rapidly. Getting into the market officially can only be a good thing for the future.

The funny part is going to be how conflicted some of more emotional and aggressive Xbox fans are going to be if the PS3 sells well over there. On the one hand, PS3 hardware sells would go up, on the other, the tie-in ration would likely go down from piracy. I could see this forcing some of our anti-Sony crowd into a bi-polar-like posting frenzy.

And how many console gamers?  TOTALLY different market.

yes i know, but you said no history in games when thats incorrect, plus i stated that its a huge potential market. gamers like games, its simple as that. and if sony manages to attract gamers to the ps3 in china, they might end up selling butloads of ps3's. 



very hopfull of 5m.

Well its all just Free To Play with microtransactions......PS3 does have a few free to play games tho but I doubt the Chinese market will go crazy over DC Universe Online, Free Realms or Dust 514.....

ManBearPig basically already awnsered your question.  Your post was flame bait. Sarcasm or not, it is off-topic.
Don't worry though. I didn't report you.  You may not be the biggest PS3 fan, but I recognize a Rol-like comment when I see one.
