What is sony doing? Microsoft might have a lead due to chinese big market. PS4 needs to br released there as well.

...cause the chinese just love americans.

I think XB1 will be really successful in China, every sale helps close the total gap. Being the first to launch in a new market is great for MSFT.

Doesn't say 100k at launch, just 100k period.

I think it's good in general that the ban is lifted. Nobody seems to care about it here, I wonder why. I think posts would be different if it was another system which will be released there officially...

Only 0.05% of chinease midleclass population??

I think 100k could be day one if they market it correctly.

Could be big if they get a karaoke service and Chinese streaming services. Sell it cheap too M$. I think the US government needs to subsidise some of the cost too. The US can gain a lot more spying eyes with these Kinects watching communist China.

Hmm...
Xbox has as much of a chance to be successful in China as PS4.
Doesn't the Chinese hate both Americans and Japanese?

That is typically the way it works yepp.

@op - Either way itll be interesting to see how this developes over the generation.  China has potential of being a decent country but you never know about these things.  I have no prediction but i am interested in seeing how this plays out.

Yep, I would of thought so. Can see it being an Kinect-less SKU only.
