    Well, they instantly won China by a large margin. I hope the Vita does well there!

    • Daniel Rossevelt

      It would be awesome if the vita boomed there.

      • Zackasaur

        Agreed! It deserves it.

    • http://gematsu.com/ Sal Romano

      I wanna see what other Chinese games are coming to the platform. Hopefully some of them will come here.

      • Zackasaur

        Yeah, I’m hoping for the same thing. It would be cool to have a more internationally relevant dev industry in China.

      • Elle

        me too. same with korea.

    • An Tran

      They seem to love the PSP considering how many people went out of there way to obtain one, so hopefully they’ll love the Vita.

      • DrForbidden

        The majority of the PSPs there were hacked for piracy, unfortunately. Still, given the fact that the games for the PSP weren’t exactly legal there at the time, perhaps that’s understandable.

      • Zackasaur

        Yep, that’s what I’m hoping as well.

  • Franggio Hogland

    Please please Sony!
    Please bring some of the Chinese RPGs west. Pretty please

  • http://ryuz4ki57inenglish.wordpress.com/ Thomas FROEHLICHER

    damn, that PS China logo is freakin’ classy! I need the Vita case

    Start making that fight monies.

  • Renaldi Saputra

    “Made in China” intensifies

  • http://resettears.wordpress.com/ Reset Tears

    Sweet dragon logo!!! I want that Vita case.

  • Lelouch Vi Britannia

    I WANNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • Ping92

    yay more localised chinese games! that dragon is nice

  • Elle

    hopefully vita can get a second wind.

  • Skerj

    Damn, I want that PS4, how come they can’t give us stuff like that as faceplates instead of the cheap Photoshop collage ones they cooked up? Also I’d consider buying one of the inferior LCD Vitas if that design were on the back. I’d never see it since I’d be playing it but I’d know it was there. ..I’d know.

  • AdamBoy64

    I like the design. Very nice.
    I hope the PS4, Vita and X1 sell well over there.

    The X1 needs a drop in price though.
    Which I’d say is probably going to happen.
    After all, the prices are miles apart at the moment.

  • TheMechaEngineer

    It would be great to see what Chinese developers make. Hopefully a lot of new innovative ideas are generated. I’m really interested to see how the Chinese market excepts Sony’s consoles.

    • DrForbidden

      I’m sorry to disappoint you, but ‘innovation’, by and large, ISN’T a trait in modern Chinese people. They’re good at learning, assimilating, and adapting, but rarely push the envelope sufficiently to innovate. The Cultural Revolution and the following decades of dictatorship have all but quashed the ability of the Chinese people to innovate, and that is something that they’re only just starting to rediscover in the past 15 years. With time, though, they can get it back.

      • TheMechaEngineer

        Your not disappointing anyone, surely not me.Everyone has the ability to innovate, now I understand that because of how the government in China operates there will be some road blocks. You should re-phrase your sentence in which you state the “modern Chinese person” because I’ve met many Chinese people with innovative ideas. Even the Chinese who are living in China are CAPABLE of innovating. Will we see it? Neither you nor anyone will know until Chinese developers start making games, hence why I was hoping.

        • DrForbidden

          If you mean that they have the CAPACITY to innovate, sure, that is absolutely true. All humans do. What I’m saying is that the cultural norm in China has not been one of innovation or of encouraging innovation for quite some time. Things have been changing since the communist party opened up China, and in another decade or so, it would probably be the norm. With increasing affluence comes increasing education and contact with foreign ideas and concepts, and the younger generations of Chinese people are increasingly innovative.

          And yes, I’ve met lots of Chinese people from China who are innovative, as I work in scientific academia, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves that the highly-educated and/or highly-intelligent individuals that we’ve met are representative of the 1.4 billion or so people in China.

  • SMTGamer

    Hopefully Vita and PS4 sell well there.

  • DrForbidden

    That dragon PS4 looks awesome…
