6000 people for the poll.

Not sure its representative of the china, where there are multiple major subcultures per town


lol, this.   it will also help if i had any idea what netease was to chinese people. 

 

i'd believe the xbone number is very low.  i don't believe that the ps4 number isn't also very low.

How big is the "legal/official" China console market set out to be? 5M? 10? 20?

We all know there are tons of people over there and a lot of those people now make a good enough living to be able to afford luxuries like these consoles. But is there any evidence we can use to gauge the size of the potential Chinese console market?

It is a really hard market to gauge.. This is kinda its birth in terms of videogames. It has the possibility of becoming as big as any of the current markets right now but it all depends whether people there can so easily get themselves to switch from f2p. I think sales will be modest for the first few years and slowly earn its place within popular culture there. 

Well, if the market of Video games grows in the same way that box office of movies have grown in China then in terms of physical sales it would be around the same number as the US. Of course this analysis isn't really an indicator but the potential is off the charts

Not very surprising. In a country with no bias and most games are out for both consoles, the logical choice is the most powerful console with the best first party studio and at the same price.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Don't know what you are trying to say here.... it doesn't matter if it were 1000 people, 2k or 3k. Whats important is that it was done in china. This survery also doesn't mean that 50% of anyone buying a console in china would be getting a PS4. It just "suggests" that the PS4 will sell better than the XB1 over there.

Low, high, average...... it doesn't really matter since all this news or survey or whatever it is is about measuring interest. And  a sampling of 6000 people is at least the closest form of tangible data we have from that region in relation to consoles now.

So we're basing the majority's opinion of a country of over a billion people on a single article's survey where the amount of people answering is literally less than .005% of the total population? Alrighty...



Current Consoles: Gaming PC, Wii U, 3DS

"Turns out, Chinese users are more interested in the PS4."
What I see is that Chinese users that read online article about the PS4 are more interested in the PS4. But how could that shows any relevance of something?



I feel a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened..
