If it reaches 400k in 2014 it would already be pretty big in my opinion. 500k-600k could be possible as well, even though it would be quite a surprise to me.
But 1M ? Seriously ? Nah.

Just because something new releases in a country doesn't mean they're all going to jump on it.
China won't become a huge market with the first release.

I don't see it becoming a bigger market than the UK in a few months, it would be ridiculous.

If it turns out to happen, well, silly me, but I'm VERY sceptical.

90k registered xbox tribe members so they just estimated a 40k pre-orders.

Where would that number come from? Unless Chinese people are hyping for some game of the very limited XBO library, but I reaaaally doubt that.

some chinese people hype for every new western luxurious stuff, that was banned before

I don't think tribe members can proof anything

Anyway according to prefect world,the pre-order numbers is enought to make MS feels fine,so don't really care

What appeals to the market?

I'll be impressed if it manages to get above 1 million lifetime in China. The Chinese console market is irrelevant.

MMO's... Lots and lots of MMO's. China and east Asia, in general, teem in this genre.

How is anyone saying this is even remotely possible?

He's questioning if the Xbox One can sell 1 million units in only 13 weeks.

To put that into some perspective, it took the PS4 42 weeks to sell through 1 million units in the UK, essentially the 3rd largest console market.

Average sales per week in China would need to be 76k. Nearly 50% above it's current weekly worldwide average. Every week. 

Edit: If, miraculously it managed to sell 200k first week, that's still 66k per week.  Even entering the holidays, which isn't an established seasonal shopping period for the chinese, that's a very, very high average for a region not traditionally attached to home consoles.

So, no.

It easily can and China is a heavily growing market too. Whats taking Sony so long, MS could lead by several million units if the PS4 does not launch soon.
