Sony’s game systems finally have a release date in China.
Sony’s plans to enter the Chinese market on Jan. 11 were suddenly unplugged three days before the release, with the company citing “various factors” for the delay. But the launch is back on track months later and is now set for a March 20 launch for both its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. If all goes according to plan this time, Sony will follow rival Microsoft (it released the Xbox One in late 2014 in China) into the massive Chinese games market just after the lift on a 14-year ban on game consoles, giving the Japanese company a piece of a gaming market that reached $18.5 billion in 2014, second only to the U.S. in size.
