The same document adds that both ventures will focus on producing consoles, marketing the consoles, software marketing, rights management, network services consultation, and general business consultation.
This move comes after Microsoft’s announcement of the Xbox One hitting China this September. However, Sony has yet to reveal any launch dates.
