Sales will be supply constrained. Keep that in mind. :P

Back in October, the rumoured shipment was 200,000 units, though we have no idea of how true that will end up being. Also, we don't know how many Vitas they'll get and how that will perform.


Ah forgot about that! Let's hope the demand is big enough though, so maybe the can ship more!


I hope for the same!

That's really something. Not to mention the reasonable price.

 

It is quite literally everything that the Xbox isn't and it's cheaper.

China do not care about Christmas, the 11th of Jan was just super nice before the long holiday of Chinese New Year in Feb which was the biggest festivity for every Chinese, and it's the only time of the year the parents will indulge their children on their request no matter how poor they are.

Adjusted for purchasing power parity, the average Chinese citizen actually has more purchasing power than the average US citizen does.

If that's true, then most likely the ps4 will sell extremely well there.

The price is definitely awesome, as well as confirmed. But I'm waiting on a more concrete record of the region-free status before getting too excited about it. I want to make sure that the information is accurate, as it's being relayed live in Chinese.

Well, that is how it works in the middle east countries. Many gamers create US accounts because the games are cheaper to download from the US store than the rest of the world. It also worked for banned games like Heavy Rain on PS3.
