I forgot how it haven't came out in China.
But what does this really mean? Did the PS4 already released in China and do they have to do something like this?

League of Switch

It's different enough from a pc or mobile gaming to carve out it's own place there. Xbox one and PS4 are too similar to the pc.

It has the best chance of success in China of the 3. Given how consoles have been received in China though, don't hold your breath.

Not what I would call an Epic gamer moment.

Hello Nintendo China, and good bye, Nintendo China.

As a Chinese gamer, the hate on Tencent is nothing less than American on EA.
