Forums - Microsoft - Xbox one releasing in china this september

celador on 30 April 2014

Hard to imagine it being successful considering Xbox has released practically everywhere else at one point or another and only seen major success in NA and the UK.

Good luck I guess

Good for Xbox, but I am honestly more interested in seeing Sony and Nintendo will follow.

So your point is not the PC, but the higher price tag for the console in China.

Partially, PC is part of it, but price is most of it.

China appears to be free of competition because of the console ban.

But because of the console ban, they've been PC gaming while the rest of the world was on consoles.

That whole MS-Based exclusive thing that some people claimed with Titan Fall ain't gonna fly in China.

Cause those who have PCs will most likely get the PC version over the console version, and MS is going to have a hard time convincing people to buy an XB1 even if it had nothing but pure exclusives.

They have to beat the price performance ratio and convince chinese that its a valuable purchase. If anything, the Kinect seems like one of the only things in china that will be a selling point for it.

It will be difficult but not impossible. Definetly harder than the U.S, but they've got a fresh start and no console competiton unlike Japan.

Xbox One games will cost less than PC games to compete.

Whooooo

September global Xbox domination.....or at least close to PS4 worldwide sales ;)

55 countries FTW



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

Not sure about that. Dr.Henry Killing already said it all. Nobody will pay for it...

Perhaps they will follow but consoles will probably remain unsuccessful there.

What NeoRatt said ... 

The fact that China has some extremely tight regulation on media in general means that neither the xbox one or the PS4 will be very successful seeing as how all of the AAA high quality games are mostly M rated.

Why did nobody else think of this ?

they did which is why the partnered with a chinse company to handle chinse games and to work with other compines to help get there games released there

The way I see it chinese game developers will favour PC over xbox and publishing a game to China will be no easy task considering the fact that alot parts of the games will get censored or completely removed in general. 


Xbox One games will have less censorship http://www.gamesinasia.com/microsofts-xbox-one-plans-in-china-cheap-games-less-censorship/

This needs to be true for xbox one to be a success.  Although, article says this July where it is actually september

That said, 360 did have a successful run in the black/grey market in its best years 07-2010. Nobody is expecting mega success, but sales nonetheless.

It says expected to be released in July. Doesn't mean it will be.
