Amazing! They should advertise with this.

Are software sales high though compared to the hardware sold?

No idea. Getting sales figures of Asian territories is nigh impossible unless the publisher themselves reveal it.
And ultimately, Asia is small business compared to US/Europe. Whatever meagre success Vita has in places like Taiwan and Korea is but a small dot in the big picture.
I can't wait for Taipei Game Show!
PSVita is the best selling console in Chinese market right now (via grey market, of course).

That's like saying the PS4 is the best selling console off the back of my mate's white van.
I take your point though.
Chinese localized software sales take up half of the whole asian software sales (Japan excluded), according to SCEJA themselves.
Edit: I realized you are talking the vita software sales specifically, it's unclear. But it must be OK because SCEJA is localizing more than before.
What does politics have to do with entertainment?
How comes?
Why would they buy Vita hardware then? The platform hasn't been cracked so there's no native piracy.

Wasn't sure if they were using it more as an entertainment device (PSP) or for remote play.

Korea's attach rate for Vita is around 6 for first-party games.
10 when including third-party titles.
Vita being a used primarily for media playback in a post-smartphone/tablet world?
The idea that any noticeable amount of Vitas are being moved due to Remote Play isn't something I can agree with.

That's pretty decent(?)
I don't think that either, but then I'm not sure how different markets would view it.

As far as Remote Play-Vita is concerned, it's really just a sleight-of-hand to soften the fact that Sony's going to be making less Vita games moving forward.
Wouldn't be surprised if they gave up on first-party retail Vita titles altogether.

It'll probably do better than the X1 there.

If they re-released the Virtual Boy there it would sell better.

Might be $113 cheaper than xbone too. Is it because PS4 is manufactured in Japan?

High hope for tales of z chinese version, since Baba attanting Taipei GS.
Nope, the XBO sold in China is also made there. Not sure why PS4 being made in Japan - and that's not the only place it's made in, of course - would make it $113 cheaper.

I thought since it was much closer than the US it would make it cheaper somehow but since MS is making consoles in China I was totally wrong.
Wow, that's pretty good. Why is this the first time I hear of this?
Thought Korea is more about PC and mobile games. Didn't think they would be into the Vita first party offerings.

Because it's only revealed a week ago, and most people here wouldn't know about it anyway.

Shoddy Translation:
It hasn't been a full year since release yet, so the current attach rate for the PS4 is about only 1:2. As for the PSVita, it's attach rate is around 1:6, but if you include third-party titles, it about doubles to around 1:10 attach rate.
Lol, wow.
That's true though I'll always choose English when it's available xD
Thanks. There are barely any good Vita news it is nice to hear.
They has already spread a lot of nonsense rumors before Xbox One launch in China.
Almost none of them are accurate, just to attract views.
While it is fake, the reason for a cheaper ps4 would probably be because the company manufacturing ps4 is 70% chinese and 30% Sony.
nah, that site quoted in the article (WPDang.com) is famous for its inaccurate and misleading information.

No offence, but I don't think you understand what you are talking about.
The grey market here alone is already one of the Vita's strongest markets worldwide.
Edit: is trolling a banable offence?

There are actually several CRPG announced on Xbox One in China, but not exclusive.
So you could expect that. But it depends on them if they want to publish in global, I guess.

Let's bet on the possibility of Chinese PS4s being region locked as Xbone.
Hint: they are handled by the same company as BesTV and Horizon Pearl are now merged.

Not if the Vita is getting trolled...
So the Vita is really strong in China? Kind of surprising.
