Xbox One is due to go on sale in China in September this year, the first sale of consoles there after China’s 14 year console ban.
Game consoles were banned in China in 2000 due to the belief that they had a negative effect on the mental health of young people but was lifted in January this year.
The launch of Xbox one in China is a great milestone for both the country and Microsoft.
