Yes their are some games on PC that have an Chinese owner who let the games bring on X-ONE..  Thought Epic as also (semi)owned by a Chinese company.

What if they rename the DLC "Rise of the Nippons" and have Chinese special ops as the good guys, uh?

They May crack a smile, but than proceed to pick up the stamp that say's "否认" or "否認"

Yuck.

I thought they would actually have the stones to discount it if you're on a broadband plan already. But they're basically asking full price + TWO different paywalls.

Yikes.

2 billion people over there, 1% market penetration in these numbers would mean 20 million consoles. It is potentially a 100 million consoles market (considering that 5% of the population can afford and is interested in gaming), so, Sony better hurry, a company can make a lot of money in China.

Just think about Brazil: it sucks, but the market was big enough to justify sony instaling a factory in here. China is much more promissing.

It is locked to a certain broadband provider.

as sales partner. no1 said u need a subsciption to be alble to purchaches an xbox one

just for reference in mainland china you could buy grey market imported xbox one's for $460 with bundled game.

more or less the same story in HK, give or take 20$ 

Source: I go there often because of work,  it's where the US Xbox One i currently own is from. Neither the xbox one or ps4 are going to do much higher numbers,  because theyre both basically already widely available despite the ban. 

One question I will ask though,  is the $550 console theyre selling the one with kinect or without?  because all the ones i have seen there thus far are with. 

Expecting this to be as big of a game changer as Titanfall and dropping Kinect was

That price is actually pretty good. Will be very interesting to see how it does there. Chinese people buy lots of Iphones so I do expect the X1 to get a small boost from China.
