PC MMORPGS are bolder enemies to console games than piracy is, really.

Even if only 1% could afford a console it would still equate to 10 million potential consumers.

Because China would be much more likely to adopt Japanese products and games than American shooterbox type stuff.

By 2015 China will be home to the worlds 4th largest wealthy population.

The future potential for consoles in China would be huge.

If that happens, Sony will make billions because Chinese people love online gaming, Can't say the same thing for Nintendo.

Nintendo is still not pushing online gaming and they don't really care about it.

Hows that? I say both the 360 and the Ps3 have an equal chance. Although im tempted to mention the sucess of iPhone in China and other american products as opposed to Japanese.

Finally a good news after all those doom threads about console gaming etc. The bigger the market the better for developers to have a chance to profit.

Doom is because of production costs of games and sales not meeting the production costs, so studios are going uner.

I think it will help a little and even if it's just about having a retail presence it helps and can maybe open the market for more official western electronics etc and has this happens more and more and the government sees gain from a growing tax revenue it can help with patent issues and the black market .
