You did just speculate without any evidence whatsoever. Regardless of that poster's tone, I don't think it's wrong to question your post.

Yea, I think there's plenty of growth potential for China. The market could be in par with the likes of France/Germany this gen, if MS start acting fast.
you got your billion and million mixed up bruh
I used words such as likely, and could, which abiding by basic Englsh means I am speculating. I never once said I had the factual information.

Okay sorry that was uncalled for. Still my question is the same. How did you come up with that number? We have 0 sales data except for this vague statement of 100K reached.

Considering they only got initial approval to sell 5million, that is the ceiling, not 1.3billion
See above dude. I was speculating hence the use of the words likely and could.
it was a worthless online poll.

100k, or 100 carats. Assuming $125 for 1 carat, thats $12,500 in China. 12,500 is less than 1,300,000,000. So, no, 100k out of 1,300,000,000 is not good.
Console gaming is dead, yo.

"Likely sold 50k day one" is still based off of nothing. Speculating or not, the way in which that is framed suggests that something led you to believe that.

The article (translated by google) say that the goal is 1 million by the end of the year. I don't think 150k is the limit.
When did I claim you had facts? That'd be quite the speculation!
End of the year or in a year?
within a year.
Edit. 1m within a year would be great. Getting the big hitters avaliable as soon as is a priority.

I'm not Hindle's biggest fan when it comes to his speculations and the way he phrases them , but arguing over it honestly feels pointless.

So you're saying they'll buy lots of PS4s?
Can you read chinese or it's google translating?
Thanks, that's why nobody should use internet translators for this languages.

Whoops. In a year, not by the end of the year.
No, it was my mistake, it clearly says "one-year sales target of Xbox One of the more than 1 million.".

Chinese and even Japanese can be particularlyconfusing when it comes to number translations because of the commonality of addressing some number roundings differently from western commonalities.
Like 10 wan is how Chinese normally call 100k. 4 zeros instead of 3.
I think the high price of the console in China is because they want to make money with it instead of software in a market dominate by f2p.
Nah, France/Germany usually buy 4-7m consoles per gen For each of the big 3 hardware manufactures. So I think it's possible the X1 could sell the above amount over the course of the next 6 years in China.

It's the same for many parts of Asia too.
Our consoles are overpriced compared to US and our deals are laughable compared to them.
Our only real benefit is that first party games tend to be a bit cheaper than retail $60.

Xbox One sales
Uk: 150k sold in 2 days
China: 100k (?) in 1 day
France: 126k sold by end of 2013 (40 days)
Germany: 100k sold by end if 2013 (40 days)
If China figure is sell-through that would be really impressive.

Saying 'the X1 likely sold 40/50k first day, and could clear 100k by the second day', sounds like you pretty much know the figures, when you clearly don't.
See above.

It sounds like I'm speculating, hence the words likely and could. If I had the info, I'd use language like definetly and has. It really is basic English.
There must be heaps more. Aren't they made there?

The first one is made up, Doffen is correct though, the government approved them to sell 5million. On phone so I can source in a bit if someone doesn't

Serious question - Is China's Holiday season schedule the same as ours? Should we expect a Christmas bump?

Cool. A lot of people to play with.
Presumably the Chinese government doesn't allow unfiltered direct access to Live though..?

Nice. I for one would buy the product I personally built and packaged by hand.

I think it's pretty close, but no the same. Like February or something.
If they have sold that amount, as said above, MS should be getting all big 3rd party franchises to the market. Each series has potential to generate real momentum for the console.

No Black Friday. There won't be a November bump.
Christmas is partially celebrated as an event and shopping takes advantage of the mood, so December will have some bump.
February bump will be the biggest bump due to CNY. Chinese are the most loose with their money during CNY.
