Microsoft said that it has finally launched its Xbox One video game console in China. That’s a first for Microsoft, since China’s console ban has been in effect for the entire time that Microsoft has been selling Xbox machines.

The launch with Chinese partner BesTV was supposed to happen last week, but Microsoft delayed the official sales until today. The delay was no surprise, given how many things can go wrong with a console launch. Microsoft said it has launched the Xbox One, which debuted in the U.S. in the fall of last year, is now on sale in 4,000 retail locations across 37 cities in China.

He added, “Despite this being a momentous day, I am not as enthusiastic about sales and overall perception of Xbox one in China in the short term. This is mainly because the Xbox does not have a big game lineup yet, it’s an expensive device relative to incomes, and that Chinese gamers are mainly PC game players and mobile game players, so there will need to be a real shift in consumer behavior before these types of devices will gain traction.”

The available games include:

o Forza Motorsport 5

o Kinect Sports Rivals

o Powerstar Golf

o Zoo Tycoon

o Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

o “Dance Central Spotlight (Harmonix)

o Neverwinter Online (Perfect World)

o Rayman Legends (Ubisoft)

o Trials Fusion (Ubisoft)

o Naughty Kitties (Chinese ID@Xbox developer, Coconut Island)

Well well, at the very least I am assuming around 100-300k for the launch window. But hopefully they fix this lineup.

They have already said they were getting Fifa, Titanfall and Halo MCC ready. The latter before it's world wide launch.

More pics from other stores, Sunning Estimated 70k alone with both branches:

Here's another store:

3 more:

lol

Nice,they outsold the PS4 in the UK last week too.

Didn't I just post this earlier today?

70k? Hardly something to brag about. As shitty a system as it is the PS4 won the console sales race this gen. Deal with it.

Very lazy, this is the hype thread. With pictures from multiple stores. Waiting on estimated sales number now, Got one for sunning.

It's actually kinda cool to see a big deal being made about consoles in China. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting there to be any hype at all for this.

After another price drop and a free game,the week before that the PS4 double the xbox one sales in UK which is why MS was prompted to do another price drop,basically they were selling it for less than a PS4 and with 1 game.

@TigerSuperman: hype thread? I can easily edit it and have yours locked since it's considered double you silly little child, also was done on my mobile

Why hasnt SONY released in Japan?

tho the Chinese hate Japanese products and wont really buy the PS4... its worth a shot tho... even its its just 1 million life time sales

Not quite as popular as the "Ip Man" movies were ;)

That's just one retailer and it's not even the largest in China. There was well over 120K preorders. No one has won anything yet, because the race isn't over. lol!!

Yeah you did. Not sure why another thread was need. But it; will be fun to see Cows damage controlling this. They were expecting the same results as Japan. LOL!!

That denial.

I'm sure the mods will like this comment. Also I have a article that will be updating with estimated consumer sales in a few hours. You?

It's fappening!

Uh.. Sony did launch in japan?

Looks like MS beat Sony to the punch.

i guess it was a flop cuz I didnt even hear about it

Ohh we sooooooooooooo needed ANOTHER thread on this.

Lol...bu bu bu.

I'm not surprised because it's Xbox.

I'm just surprised because I always imagined the Chinese gaming industry as simply being internet cafes with tons of computers in them. I didn't think people actually bought gaming stuff for their home.

Though of course.... There is the piracy side of things.

He just needs the attention

That's the facts. You just don't like it because I'm right. lol!!

figured as much.

Yeah...but it's China so who cares?

The facts are that 120k is a pathetic launch number for a country of that size. Barely a drop in the bucket that is the gap between the xbone and the PS4. It's basic common sense. Something you are apparently lacking.

Or mines not lazy, has a source that will be constantly updating information, and there's a reason why this thread will soon have more posts?

Well, you have to consider this. One its not an Apple product and two, its nothing to do with PC gaming.

Also it's expensive, and not a phoen which is easier to produce in the millions.

Updates, more stores, Xbox Wire news, and sales estimates soon.

How is 120k pathetic for "Launch"?

Well....at least it did better here than in Japan...but good Lord they went all out with the advertising.

Neverwinter Online? Wow why dont we have a MMO on the system yet?

Nope, attention

Says the one that makes 40 posts a day while I barely post any. I mean at least try to troll. But alas, you are suffering from something so i will let you off since you got nothing better to do but derail threads. Well that ended quickly. poor guy.

I understand that, but he should also know that in places like India, where even the PS2 barely did a million, but was still considered a massive success well...

Don't underestimate China. I expect the Xbox One and PS4 to do well there.

@blackace: What's amazing about this? So they'll pump out a couple hundred thousand at the first console launch China has seen in a decade. They're still down by 6-7,000,000 sales of not more by now.

Why don't we wait and see what happens in the coming months? I would say that sales threads are completely useless until we see numbers after this holiday season.

@TigerSuperman:

You sound 12. Are you 12?

Nah, I've met 12 years olds that are smarter and can put up a better argument. I'll stop giving your attention grabbing, duplicate thread hits though.

And 40 posts a day? Love to know where you got that from.

@prawephet: What do you.mean? You keep with the fanboy wars instead of seeing China can become a huge console market. The few hundred thousand at launch shows breaking through isn't as impossible so many thought.

You're being generous giving him age 12. I'd say 8 would be a lot closer here's a good representation.

@TigerSuperman: I never said anything to the contrary. I stated simple facts. A couple hundred thousand sales doesn't make up the current deficit. I also said not to get too excited yet. Selling well during a launch should be expected, especially in a market that hasn't had a console for a long time. Better to hold off announcing anything until we see if they can keep the momentum or if it fizzles off a couple days from now.
