From CNET: Following dipping sales, Sony this week announced a price drop for the PS4 in Japan. But the company's home turf isn't the only Asian country giving it grief, with China presenting a unique set of challenges.
"We are still challenged somewhat with a censorship regime that we have to work with," Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House told Reuters at the Tokyo Game Show on Thursday. "This can be time-consuming."
The PS4 launched in China back in March, a little over a year after the country's government revoked a ban on gaming consoles that had been in place for 14 years. However, China's censorship minefield has proven difficult for Sony to traverse: Only six launch titles accompanied the PS4 upon its release.
"I don't think it has been a kind of rocket launch start," House admitted, but added that he thinks there's "tremendous potential for gaming as an entertainment medium in China." The numbers certainly agree -- last year China's gaming population exceeded the entire population of the USA.
