Most sites are recommending not to buy yet due to poor library. 

Same problem for the Xbox One, isn't Sony's or Microsoft's fault, Just the Chinese government being overbearing asshats like usual and being super restrictive on what games are allowed.

As for the reporting on it issue, I agree, i mean, why would people need to cover it for the lead console? extra sales only really matters if you need them, and for the Xbox One at the time it launched in China, any good news was welcomed with open arms, however trivial.

As for the lukewarm reception, Kinda hard for people to get excited for the launch of a console they've been importing, for cheaper, and without the bullshit restrictions, since they were launched in the US and Japan.

the chinese goverment does the right decision. Why should they allow games like battlefield and call of duty in their country who can be viewed as US propaganda?

Lukewarm as expected. The market is still irrelevant at this point. Doubt we will hear anything concrete in terms of numbers.

Yeah, it doesn't look like it's setting the world on fire over there, but don't you find it odd that no site has had an article about the launch yet (that I can find)? We know for certain that the Chinese were looking forward to the PS4 more than the XB1 and yet when the XB1 launched in China there were dozens of articles. Perhaps this was just an indication of how desperate the media were for good news for the XB1? I don't know ... It just seems odd.

That is because nobody from sony reacted on the launch/numbers yet.



All those people are just there to take photos of the girls.. Everyone who has been there should recongnize that.. Every time barely dressed promo girls show up there are these chinese men with semi proffesional camera's popping Up from like no where..

Yeah, chinese people just aren't used to gaming yet, due to their govt's idiotic policies. I fear no systems will do well there, but i guess in the end, anything is possible.



no officales ... ?

Eventually consoles will take off in china it's best to get your foot in the door early and build some kind of fanbase over there.



Driveclub and Guilty Gear will also be releasing in China for the PS4 soon: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20150320_693763.html
