Xbox One to launch on Monday
Print Edition
MICROSOFT will launch its Xbox One on China’s mainland next Monday — the first game console to enter the market in 14 years, it said yesterday, in an apparent reversal of a delay announced just three days ago.
In January, China formally authorized the domestic sale of game consoles made in its first free trade zone in Shanghai, ending a more than decade-long ban.
Microsoft previously said it would start delivery of consoles yesterday, but over the weekend announced a delay potentially until the end of this year without giving a precise date or reason.
A new statement from Microsoft and its Chinese partner BesTV New Media issued yesterday suggested government approvals of games might have caused the delay.
“After receiving government approval for the first wave of games, we will launch with the first 10 games now and continue our work to bring more blockbuster games and a broad offering of entertainment and app experiences to the platform in the weeks and months to come,” Xie Enwei, general manager of Xbox China, said in the statement.
