The PlayStation 4 & Vita Get A Release Date In China
Sony Japan has announced an official release date of March 20 for the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Vita in China.
The PS4 will cost 2,899 yuan ($463) and the Vita 1,299 yuan ($207), and debut alongside versions of Knack and Rayman Legends, among other games.
Rival Microsoft already released the Xbox One in China on September 29.
The original launch of the PlayStation 4 was delayed back in January due to "prolonged negotiations" in the country.

Our Take
With PC and mobile gaming having taken root in the country, along with free-to-play titles, it'll be interesting to see what kind of appetite there is for home consoles in China and if any Western publishers gear their software on the platforms towards gamers there.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
