Microsoft is getting ready to launch the Xbox One in China, but if an online poll at Netease Games is any indication, China’s gamers may be more interested in Sony’s offerings.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
the uphill battle continues. according to some M$ extremists the X1 will be so popular in china half the population will buy the system lol.
The advantage will go to the platform with the content that best caters to the Chinese gamers.
People have different tastes, even in China. Will Chinese gamers choose the console with games cut from the same co-op/multiplayer mold or will they choose the console with a wide selection of games from every genre? My guess is that one console will continue the trend it's been setting since November 15th 2013.
In Japan, though, the Xbox One is the first Xbox console that is doing quite well. Early on it might even have sold more than the PS4 there. Once all the Xbox die-hards have got their console and once the PS4 gets some more exclusives out, this might change of course. Deep Down might do the trick as it's of Japanese tastes. But otherwise the games have tended to be Western and even the fact that the PS4 is PC-like means that the Japanese public have not responded as enthusiastically as they might have so far.
