China is prolly buying X1's so they can reverse engineer them and turn them into super weapons

100k+, eh? They're just scratching the surface! If they work it right, this'll be a window of opportunity to get China in Microsoft's grasp, huh? (Puns intended)

I was one of those who believed that China wouldn't have a large impact because of the PC, and the launch lineup, but who knows? (To clarify, I based this off the 1 million XBOnes to ship report, and confused that with the 5 million XBOnes that was the quota.)

Among the "unknowns", are any of them a major presence?

China Telecom(Which may take 100k-500k depends on what kind of plan they can offer). Other online stores may have ~1k total. Other offline retailers should be under in-store number.

China Telecom is big. It alone threw the Lumia 920 into production problems for two full quarters, and forced the iPhone onto it with favorable terms because the marketshare was simply too large. Take note: Apple didn't get them to stock the iPhone, they got Apple to ship them iPhones. Talk about power.

200k as a minimum for first week, then.

Not hard to do but i wonder how much Xbox One appeals to them. 

Anyway, you only need a tiny amount of the population in China to buy it and it will be successful

Many of the early adopters will probably buy it for the prestige. That may also be the reason why the bundle with Kinect is much more popular (it's better to show it to your friends).

I'm not sure how many serious gamers will buy it early at full price.

Not exactly surprising.


It isnt?

Odd that, seeing as numerous threads and posts have said we won't see any decent numbers as "you can already buy them in China anyway lolzzz" and "China is a tiny market" and "Chinese hate amercians" and "China is too poor" etc etc etc etc


1) You are considering the wackiest hater minority's predictions.
2) People could have predicted unexciting numbers, but still higher than in Japan. How many predicted sales lower than in Japan? A minority of the minority you consider?
