They dont like the US and they dont like the Japanese. So i wonder...

They don't like the US? The USA is named Mei Guo in chinese, that means beatiful country. Chinese movies show the US more positive, especially in hostoric context. Chinese students prefer to study in the US than in europe. I think you wrongly think that the US hate for China is met by similar feelings the other way. That's not the case.

That doesn't mean they will prefer the XBox though.

The fact that because it's China and China hates Japan is bullcrap.

It's all about the closeness in culture. Like sure Korea may hate Japan and China may hate Japan, but that doesn't mean we import a ton of cultural products from both of then.

Japanese anime airs on major kid's channels in Korea, we share similar tastes in food, china enjoys K-pop and all that jazz.

Skirmishes happen if you're close geographically. Like how you fight more with your sibling than a stranger. doesn't mean you are closer to the stranger and likely to share their tastes.

Just because we don't like Mexico because of currently ongoing drug wars and immigration issues doesn't mean we don't eat Tacos and think sombreros are like the coolest thing.

TLDR: PCs will still likely rule, but China, Japan, and even Korea share similar styles of fantasy/legend and expression. Heck Japan makes Dynasty Warriors. If consoles were to ever catch on, it'll likely be a Sony or Nintendo one.

Dude, let me tell you something. No one likes the US. Get used to it.

Just some less than others.



It will be 3ds territory.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Nope.

The PS3 has been officially available in China for quite a while now. It doesn't sell any noticeable quantities, however.. The catch is the whole marketing/distribution/sales is controled by a chinese company which itself is fully under control of the chinese state. And the price is so high that very few people actually could afford to buy a PS3.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

This was the approval for Sony itself to sell its console, mid last year, reported in November. I'm not sure when the chinese company got the certificate, but earlier than this one.
