PS4 in China

PS4 could head to China this year — Sony still working out details

China is the next big frontier for console gaming, and Sony isn’t going to let Microsoft take it all for itself.

The PlayStation company is filing the proper documentation to release its latest home console, the PlayStation 4, in China’s Free Trade Zone. Sony’s paperwork indicates that it plans to ship around 200,000 PS4s to China each year starting in December, according to a Bloomberg report. This would give Sony exposure to a massive population that is one of the world’s fastest-growing gaming markets. It would also give Chinese gamers an option when it comes to consoles, as Microsoft’s Xbox One is the only modern system on sale in the country. With PS4 outselling Xbox One around the world, Sony doesn’t want to give Microsoft too much of a headstart in China.
