Sure, why not 2 million? XB1 has a lot of appealing games to the Chinese, right.

Actually they do. Chinese mmmos heard they love halo

Real solid evidence there......................there is nothing on x1 that appeals to that market.

we talk again in one or two years again

No we won't..you will pretend you never said china woul be a relevant market, it is even more unique then china, xbox certainly doesn;t have a single game that will appeal to that market. Ps4 will easily outsell it ther elike everywhere but neither will do much, can get them on the black market half the price.

this is not even gaming related

china is becoming the most or second most important market for many industies

and no1 care if u can get a console on the blackmarket already

that doesnt matter

all the time i read this "argument" i have to puke

u guys have zero clue about economics

comparte the iphone black market sales 2 years ago to now

do it with anything else. its always the same picture.

black and greymaket is always small and niche.

if u can get the same sales through black-/gremaket

why do companys spend money on the real market, partner with local distibutors. advertise. give support. etc..

why not just flood the fucking grey market and get 100% of all sale u could get a max nevertheless?

because thats not how it works.

i only hear this bullshit talk in gaming forums. why dont u and all the other guys work in a billion dollar company and just tell them how theire business work?

Xbox is not an iphone a device that sells in the hundreds of millions in 1 years....please...china is not gonna save or help xbox 1, it is NOT going to be a big market for consoles.

You have zero clue about china most of the population are below the poverity line, and console games, especially xbox games won;t appeal to anyone there outside a niche group. PS4 wont even do well there.

it dont have to sell millions

ms second biggest gaming market is at 670k units right now

so it just have to sell 500k to be the third most important and biggest market.

and thats just a small percent of the middle class u need to sell ur console to

so even at a niche its one of the biggest markets. period

china has what? 250m online gamer? not sure about the exact figure any more. and this is still growing

get 1% of them to buy ur stuff and u sold more units than xb360 in europe second biggest gaming market (germany with 2m units)

Depending on how the consoles are marketed over there, I could see China becoming a big region up alongside the UK.

Possible. And, what a game changer this will be, China could be the 4th or 5th video game market in no time.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Who knows? None of us really know how the market will react to the XBO. It could just have a good launch and the completely drop off. Or it could sustain its launch momentum and sell well there.
