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?

Hahaha comments like this are priceless.

Why i left PC gaming

the younger generation is China are very pro western culture. Its the older generation (who happen to be currently in power) who make these kind of rules. I spoke with some PLA officers (People's Liberation Army) and almost all of them were pro west. As soon as the current generation moves on we will see some progress,

That's good enough for me. With 1/6th of humans living in China we need it to have a stable and peaceful future. If it takes 30 years for it to truly happen then so be it. I'm glad they are embracing western culture and the world will be a better place when they become a truly modern country.
