Sony delays its PlayStation 4 launch in China

Sony’s called off its Chinese PlayStation 4 launch with just three days to go.

The Japanese electronics giant hasn’t confirmed the reason for the launch delay — originally set for Jan. 11 — citing only “various factors.” Reuters claims that a Sony source in China blamed prolonged negotiations with the Chinese authorities. Sony has not provided a new launch date for its home console, which has sold 18.5 million units worldwide in just over a year.
