Wait, what? Was the XB360 available in China? The whole 14 year foreign console ban confuses me. They're also pretty late at releasing the console in other countries, almost a year later?

Yoke Took them a while but hey. Better late than never


Sales should increase a little bit now


Probably not by too much though? I think that they already released it to all of the countries that are main stream in buying consoles.
