La #Chine lève l’interdiction sur les consoles de #jeux_vidéo
▻http://www.lemonde.fr/technologies/article/2014/01/08/la-chine-leve-l-interdiction-sur-les-consoles-de-jeux-video_4344303_651865.hLa Chine a interdit les consoles de jeu en 2000, invoquant un effet néfaste sur la santé mentale de sa jeunesse. A l’époque, sept ministères avaient décidé de cette interdiction, qui empêche les constructeurs de #consoles de s’implanter sur l’un des plus grands marchés au monde.

China ends ban on foreign game consoles - FT.com
▻http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/1ffe5fac-7779-11e3-807e-00144feabdc0.htmlDespite the restrictions, Microsoft’s Xbox, Nintendo’s Wii, and Sony’s PlayStation consoles became available to buyers in China, as many units were smuggled into the country. In 2012, Lenovo unveiled its own home entertainment console, which it marketed as a family exercise device or “sports machine” to circumvent the equipment import ban – the device was initially priced at more than $600, twice the cost of a comparable Xbox.
The ban also failed to dent the rapid rise of PC, internet and mobile gaming in China. Tencent, China’s most valuable internet company, now makes more than half of its $6.9bn annual revenues from gaming.
Together, these activities feed a total Chinese games market estimated to be worth $14bn annually.
Most of the world’s most popular consoles are already made in China – by contract manufacturers, for export. Such operations offer another potential source of leakage into the market.

L’excuse de cette mise au ban au départ : la #santé publique.
Les jeunes Chinois sont addicts à l’Internet (ils seraient 24 millions, la plupart entre 12 et 18 ans) et se soignent dans des centres spécialisés.

Sony’s Playstation-less Playstation announcement: what were they thinking? - Boing Boing
▻http://boingboing.net/2013/02/21/sonys-playstation-less-plays.htmlAfter a presentation that dragged on for hours, Sony failed to show the assembled game press the gadget they were there to see. The verdict was in before the event was over: another Sony shitshow.
