MEh, if it becomes viable they will be there, period. At this stage this is all MS is doing.

No MS have concrete plans, heck even a name for it. They seem far more along the road than Sony do. Don't assume China will like PS more just because they're in the same area of the world as well.

Because they said so?? What are there plans?? Sorry that's jus fud until we see something concrete, how do you know where sony is at versus MS?? Sony is not going to talk about it until there is somethign concrete to talk about.

 

MS won;t sell anything worthwhile there, neither one will, but sony has the best chance to sell more, ms has nothing of interest to that market, heck outside the US ms doesn;t sell well period.

 

Sony already sells in hong long and taiwan.

40m+ outside US isn't good? Dude I'm done talking to you, clearly not reasonable in debate.

Compared to Sony they do not measure up, and it gets worse in asian markets. MS has no chance to outsell ps4 in china. Eitehr way, china will be irrelevant for a very long time for the console market.

 

What games does MS have for that market?? Titanfall?>

You claim Sony takes the majority of console sales in small countries like Poland/Italy etc. If those small countries ARE relevant to you there is no doubt that China will be relevant. Chinese sales will dwarf these smaller countries. Or does sony need a majority in marketshare to be relevant in your eyes flaming?

Would be very interesting if it did become a big market. I wonder if MS plan to release a discless download only console there to combat piracy ...

The console market in China is insignificant and I don't think this will change in the near future. The number of potential buyers is much larger in Hong Kong.

the China market is insignificant..I ask again, what does MS have to appeal to the asian markets???? Sony si way aherad of the game there. MS has nothing that will make china want to buy it. Titan fall, NFL, shooters goona win over china?

I don't believe there's really any market for consoles inside China, however if there was I'd guess that Nintendo would probably be able to have the most success compared to the competition.

This is the worst kept secret I've ever heard of.
