Huge Chinese Breakthrough for Xbox Coming
Xbox 360 still hoping to see release in China in the future
I am going to pwn me some biatches FTW!
Due to an intransigent Chinese ministry of Culture, Microsoft has as of yet remained unable to launch and sell the Xbox 360 in China. This may be due to change.
Issued 10 years ago in 2000, an edict from the ministry prevents the sale of games consoles and accessories in China by any company or individual. Online sales of such proudcts are still permitted, however.
The times are changing, however, and a recent report from the
China Trade Information website explains that Micrsoft China and a Chinese regulator are working hard in the hopes of bringing the XBox 360 to the Chinese market.
The corporate vice president of Microsoft China, Zhang Yaqin, had also commented at the China Digital Entertainment Summit Forum on the potential release and sale of Microsoft current-gen machine in the Chinese market but has not committed to a release schedule due to governmental bureau approval having to be sought first before direct action can be taken.
Seems like a very complex ongoing issue and with a potential customer market as big as China it is no wonder that Microsoft are endeavouring to realise the launch of the Xbox 360 over there. Keep checking SPOnG.com for updates on the matter and let us know your thoughts below.
