Consoles have sold horribly in China. But Sony’s PSVR could flip the script.

A weird side story from the horrible tragedy in Paris could be bad news for game console makers in China.

China just unbanned consoles, sort of. But what does that really mean? Should you believe the hype? If you want to understand China’s video game market, this is a podcast that you should not miss.

Don’t believe the hype. Game consoles have been legal in China since 2014, and all signs point to China’s gamers not caring. Read this before you rush out to buy Nintendo stock.

Sony’s Playstation 4 launched in China today with a pleasant surprise that makes it the most appealing console Chinese gamers have had access to in a long, long time.

Better late than never? Sony’s long-delayed PS4 launch is finally back on in the Middle Kingdom. But is the Chinese PS4 going to be region-locked?

The reports that China’s PS4 would be region-free should have set off everybody’s BS detector: China’s Ministry of Culture would never allow unapproved games to be played on official consoles.

But perhaps the censors smelled a whiff of dissidence while playing LittleBigPlanet 3.

Another game console is coming to China’s shores, but once again the actual games on offer don’t look all that enticing.

If you think the PS4 is going to be any less restrictive and disappointing in China than the Xbox One has been, think again.
