China Game Console Ban Lifted




In China game consoles from foreign companies have been baned for 13 years. It has been a long 13 years for gamers in China. So far the details are not known but the State Council will release months to come.

After this decision it didn't take long for gaming companies to react on this opportunity. According to the rumors Microsoft is already planing ti invest $237 million together with streaming company BestTV. Still waiting to see on what will Sonny and Nintendo reaction be. Maybe the new announced Steam Machines or different Android consoles will see this as an opportunity for a market that's not already being dominated by another console.

The State Council has announced that this decision will be implemented in the next three years. So we still don't have an exact date when will game consoles be sold in China.
