Microsoft has introduced the Xbox One to the Chinese market at ChinaJoy in Shanghai, and one of the best ways to promote a new product is of course with trailers.

The house of Xbox released a fancy montage video, that also showcases the newly announced Mercury and Mercenary Ops 2 by the Shanghai-based studio Yingpei Games. In addition to that, we also get a second video focusing on the content offered by Microsoft’s Chinese partner BesTV, showing off movies and TV, and a  “China Video” trailer showing off the launches of the console around the world culminating with China, and some more gameplay and TV.

Xbox One is going to launch in China on September 23rd, and will cost 4,229 Yuan ($684) for the First Limited Edition including Kinect, Kinect Sports Rivals and Forza Motorsport 5, or 3,699 yuan ($598) for the Kinect-less version.

In the meanwhile, you can check out all the videos below.

Too bad they didn't take into account most people in China work in sweat shops and make the equivalent of $2.99 n hour..

Lol. Dont stereotype. Chinese have progressed a lot.

Except for the fact that their middle class = the poor in most countries since their middle class is much different than the rest of the world. http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/25/news/economy/china-middle-class/

In the US for example 10k-60k a year is considered poor not middle class. Tho 60k a year would be considered lower middle class which in this current economy might as well be the working class or poor in the US which is around 32k a year which is a significant amount more than the majority of China's middle class. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class. Again the majority of the people in china arn't even middle class which would be considered poor by Amercian standards. It would still be insane to charge them $600 for a $400 machine when their middle class makes signicantly less than Americas.

I'm not sterotypingting I'm going off of real world numbers which I've shared in previous links. There is a reason why most people around the world agree communism dosn't work. That's because it leaves pretty much everyone poor with no workers rights. Not sterotyping, real world facts.

Hehe, China hasn't been a communist state for many years. They are a market economy with heavy influences from socialism. The cost of living in China is also alot lower than the US, making it possible for the middle class to spend more of their money on other things, which in turn further boost the economy. These console aren't priced at an optimal level but I think they are really interesting for the middle class.

$598 for the basic model. Clearly not something they are interested in selling to the masses in China.

of they cant doing worse like theire inital launch

LOL

The Drum Major Institute...places the range for middle class at individuals making between $25,000 and $100,000 a year. Ah yes, there's a group of people bound to run into each other while house-hunting.

That's expensive, and that middle class can already walk in a store and buy a X1 or PS4 ones that wont feature heavily censored games.
