Over 4 mil is sold if you add grey market imported from other countries ~

Congratulations to Nintendo

Sounds good:

The 1 million sales figure is bigger than the combined sales of Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One over the same period, said Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad.

Every time I'm reminded that they're partnering with Tencent, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I keep forgetting too. Awesome avatar btw, Suikoden III is the reason I bought a ps2 and had to pay such huge import prices (I'm from Europe). Now chinese Nintendo fans can hopefully pay less for their Nintendo games :)

Also here's why you see something like the China Hero Project from Sony



There's a fight to define what console is the default in China(and other parts of Asia) because that gives them a massive advantage going forward.

On their way to that 1% of China

These numbers and those of Taiwan and Korea fit what was intuited: The entire region follows similar trends to Japan in terms of games.

That "Switch" might be successful in the west too! We'll have to wait and see

Also of interest.

Judging by the amount of non-approved games being played on international Switches in the subway of Shanghai i see everyday, this legal version is a tiny fraction of the actual amount of sold (mostly via HK or JP channels).

so much of the gaming industry has affiliation with CCP/Tencent, it's definitely something to be weary of and it's the same in other media avenues like the film industry

I think I saw somewhere that there were around ~3 million sold in the "gray" market before it was officially released in China.
