Xbox one launches in China

Just in time for Hong Kong riots!

The games that are available are very lackluster. The best game on the list is Forza and how many Chinese people do you think would like a racing game? Maybe if it was a game about racing a bicycle yeah, but not cars.

The government has to approve every game that gets released...That sucks.

Boy it's expensive over there. $600 US for the kinect-less version.

@Foo....ummm yeah the 2% is market share of online retailers in China. It's not 2% of xbox one preorder numbers. I went to the site where he got his info. The author from dual shockers is skewing the numbers. He even said his numbers should not be taken
as solid data. Here is the site he got his 2% from:

It's a shame people who aren't in China can't access the games... I would have liked to have checked out Naughty Kitties and Neverwinter

^^

Neverwinter has been available in the US for over a year. It's nothing like the original PC series it's just a mediocre, generic MMO.

Naughty Kitties is an android app port.

We aren't missing anything ;p

If %2 of the poulation of China lined up for the XB1, It would still be allot of people.

All this time I thought that massive crowds I saw in Hong Kong were line ups for the Xbox One but it turns out they're actually pro democracy protests. Too bad for Xbox!

@Randver...well ya, but I wanted to try Neverwinter on my console. I know it's out in early 2015 on XB1 worldwide...but curiousity has the betetr of me .

^^ Yep, they aren't going to get the console selling titles that are going to justify the purchase of the console and pull them away from the MOBA's and MMO's that are keeping most of their gamers occupied.

Their launch titles are very underwhelming.....

Xbox One fans in China can choose from 10 games today, including Forza Motorsport 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, Powerstar Golf, Zoo Tycoon, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Dance Central Spotlight, Neverwinter Online, Rayman Legends, Trials Fusion, and Naughty
Kitties.

Considering what they have access to on the PC (harder for the government to police) I don't see big numbers coming out of China.

Listed mia 510

Let me guess minimal sales.
