i wonder how PS Vita will perform there.

Wow, they are going to launch Vita in China? Maybe they still care for the console.

Wonder how Sino-Japanese relations will affect Sony and Nintendo offerings in China.

Excellent.

what release window can we expect?
between chinese new year and end q3 2015?

how Long was the xb1 Launch date announced before?

I think it was like 2 months, so I guess we could see an early 2015 release.

Also, Vita?! It's aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so chinese new year best case

only half a year headstart for the xb1 would be a huge win for sony.

I seriously don't get how the whole ban works here in China. I can order a ps4 from taobao (think amazon/ebay) and I've seen several stores that sell it. I guess the official launch will make it available in more places?

Probably also be beaten by the 3DS.
