6 reasons why China getting game consoles won’t be a windfall for Sony or Microsoft

After years of rumors, late last week we saw the most solid evidence yet that China might actually be lifting its ban on game consoles. Needless to say, this has led to speculation that Microsoft and Sony are about to make a killing selling their consoles to a new market of 1.4 billion people. They aren’t, though.

We will see what the numbers say when they launch in china. The PS4 should do well there if what you say about the freemium method is true. XB1 should do well because....well I just want them to do well. The fact that Chinese people wont buy sony because it's Japanese, I don't believe to be true.
But it really doesn't matter because this article sucks. You sound like you are defending piracy. While I do believe that trying out a product is good, piracy that encompasses the whole gaming market of china cannot be a good thing. I think china will crack down on the piracy issue. Why would they want to be robbed of the income a billion dollar industry will bring them?

Expect a lot of faked miscellaneous gaming add-on items and copied Blu Ray game/film discs.

Number 5 already on the PS4. Next gen is powerful enough for MMORPG and RTS.

Of the 1.3 BILLION people in China, i'd say MAYBE 10% could afford either console, much less both.

HighResHero3847d ago (Edited 3847d ago )

Well China houses over a million millionaires if you include Hong Kong anyway. So at least that many could buy one.

The interests of the Chinese would be a deciding factor as well, along with the marketability of the consoles in their country. I think it might take a pretty large marketing effort to shift their perception over there. But who knows.

Anyway they should be able to buy one if they're interested without having them foisted upon them.

Anyway what is that spooky avatar?

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal2h ago

The first game was the best imo.
