I'll get banned for launch shots for this, too. I love you guys.
It doesn't make much sense business wise to not re-import it through Hong Kong or Singapore.
Hypothetical:
$100 manufacturing cost
$500 sale price
Direct sale:
$100 cost
$500 sale
25% tax on $400 profit in China
$100 of taxes in China
Indirect sale:
$100 cost
Pay subsidiary or contract manufacturer $105 to export it to Singapore/HK subsidiary
Manufacturer pays 25% tax on $5 profit
Distributor imports it from Singapore/HK subsidiary for $495 cost, sells it for $500, passes on any custom duties to customer
Distributor pays 25% tax on $5 profit in China
Singapore/HK subsidiary pays 0% tax on $390 profit since Singapore/HK does not tax offshore income
$2.50 of taxes in China

I thought Ps4 and Vita already launched there.
Didn't PS4 have its Asian launch earlier this year?

Yes, but China wasn't included.

Just release the One Piece and Naruto games for these two plattforms - sell billions!
The PSP was really popular in China, but that was because it was so easy to play pirated games on it. I think Sony should do some special PS+ games for China. Pay 5$ each month for PS+ and get some good games for the console.

If Xbox One's launch policy is to be reassured on PS4 then its fate will be the same too. You can buy a PS4 for exactly $399 from online retailers plus easy access to HK PSN store where 60$ games are sold for 50$, no one will buy a significantly more expensive PS4 with no games due to censorship. Last time I checked the Chinese Xbox One in-game store there are only 11 games there.

Probably a stupid question but how are handhelds doing in China?
Does the PS Vita have a chance?
