Official launch price is 2,099 yuan, which equates to US$298.20.

Gah, beaten to the punch, was about to post this haha

Will this have any significant effect on Switch's sales potential or will China sales likely be too small to make much of a difference?

It's different enough from pc and mobile gaming to carve out part of the market there.

This could be big. It could also be nothing. Definitely something to keep an eye on. I'm intrigued. 😁

Gotta be quicker next time. ;)

I think there's a bigger chance at success than failure and that it has a stronger chance than the PS4 and Xbox One when they launched in China. As ironmanDX stated, it's different enough from PC and mobile to make its own piece of the market, the Switch is a good bridge/midway point of the two. You never know for sure about these things, because it's China. But as of now, if any one of the Big Three is in a prime position to break out and find an audience there, it's Nintendo. Another big thing that Nintendo has in their favor is their partnership with Tencent to release the system in China.

Will we have sales date from there...This is really not sure.

It should fall under the 'Rest of the World' category like it did with the Xbox One when it launched in China in late September 2014.

I know it's not the best indicator to go by but if Amazon China is any reflection of the gaming demographic in China then the Switch and its games are going to be massive there!

It will be very interesting to see what kind of impact this has on WW sales YOY.

That's why I said if it's in any way indicative of the general gaming demographic. It may be a small sample but it also could be a genuine cross-section of Chinese gamers.
