Forums - Sales - I keep seeing people downplaying the PS4 launch in China

75,000 in one month considering everything is a pretty good start, imo.I wasn't expecting anything more than 100,000. How does everyone feel about this?

Hopefully we can be updated again in a couple months.

Will VGchartz update the PS4 sales numbers for the latest info released?

China's software numbers are tricky (maybe the hardware numbers are tricky too) because they can buy games outside of the country or through untrackable means.



I think some people were expecting a lot more so that is probably why

75k isn't as terrible as i would have thought but it's still not good. 50k of that was probably week 1. china may go on to sell a million units with isn't nothing but it certainly won't be the "game changer" certain people wanted it to be.



People should be downplaying the console market as a whole in China right now. At least until China is more open in the games it allows to be officially sold there. If/when they do that then console sales might become something of substance. China is so huge that if 1% of people bought a console it would be a 13 million console market, which isn't that much smaller than the French console market last gen. I do think there is potential for a 13-20 million console market there, but not with the game restrictions that are in place at the moment.

Yeah, considering China, and their goverment's policies towards gaming and whatnot, I'm not too surprised by these sort of numbers.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

LMAO that 75k popped up out of nowhere. Cant find the source media even using Baidu search engine.



A certain faction was pinning hopes.



its only shanghai mostly for now so its a good launch for 18 million city



I figure by people, you mean people outside of China? I was thinking Chinese people are downplaying it, which sounds weird to me. x ) I didn't think even the Chinese would do that...
