Console gaming poised for huge growth in China

Compared to other gaming sectors, console gaming in China is still in its infancy but analysts said it is poised for big growth.

Neo Zheng, a research manager at market research firm International Data Corporation, said that fewer than 600,000 gaming consoles, such as Sony's Playstation 4 or the Nintendo 3DS, were sold in China last year.

That's less than two percent of the total worldwide console sales. In contrast, more than 15.5 million were sold in the United States.
