X1 and PS4 will fail utterly in China. The "100k" was shipped, not sold. And falloff will be brutally steep. Iphone 6 is launching in a week, expect 1k/week at best for the baseline in short order. Ps4 might do slightly better, but consoles are really hopeless there with the culture and economic stratification. Amongst the upper middle class that can afford a $500+ game console, almost everyone is working 60+ hours a week, and it's culturally looked down on to sit at home and game. More commonly people play PCs in cafes, or above all on their phones. There is also a very high quotient for showing off based on brand and class. A macbook or iPhone carries prestige, while a game console is something you would tell nobody about because it might embarrass you.

This is much more likely to happen than what Toasty is suggesting.

What part was fact? lol The statement is currently untrue and might never happen.

1 million in Japan with 1k sold per week, yeah.... No. Or maybe in 20 years.
And why nobody (or no XBox fan) can understand that the 1 million or 5 million of XBox One in China are just theoretical numbers ? It's "OK Microsoft, if you can, we allow you to sell up to 5 million consoles. If you can."
If you can't understand that, China numbers will really hurt you. Especially when PS4 will be sold there.

Anti-Japanese sentiment is high in China.. So note sure how well PS4 might do.. It could suffer from this. |
The average chinese man is about just as anti japanese as they are anti american. ie, they don't give a damn about politics. I've a chinese college friend and he was surprised I even thought that was a thing. Look in any of the big chinese electronics stores and you will see Sony has a decent presence.
I belive Sony's PS4 strongly led the X1 vs PS4 poles in China and if they launch there in the first half of next year I can see them outselling the X1 there about 4-1.
