Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study examines the dynamics of the China gaming console market. It looks at market strategies, drivers, dynamics, the competitive landscape, and vendor profiles. It also included a 2008?2012 forecast.

"Before Sony and Microsoft release their PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 officially in China, they have to set up long-term strategies to build good relationships with the China government and local distributors, plus a suitable market campaign planning. It is a long run for console vendors to transform this potential market into a real profit market," says Bryan Yuan, senior analyst, Vertical Industry and Consulting Team, IDC China.
