Sony has announced a partnership with Shanghai Oriental Pearl Culture Development (OPCD) to launch the PlayStation platform in China.
SCE Shanghai will operate hardware and software divisions, with OPDC expected to direct hardware manufacturing and sales and SCE to manage game marketing and distribution.
Sony has yet to confirm whether the company’s next-generation PlayStation 4 game console, rolled-out worldwide from November last year to this February, will be released in China.
The move follows Microsoft’s announcement earlier this month that the company plans to launch the Microsoft Xbox One console in China this September in partnership with China’s BesTV New Media.
