TOKYO: Sony delays sale of PlayStation 4 in China. Sony said its PlayStation 4 video game console won’t be available in China this month as originally planned, without giving specific reasons or a new release date.
Sony will postpone the sale of its PlayStation consoles on the Chinese mainland, which were formerly scheduled to release on Sunday.
Sony and its Chinese partner Shanghai Oriental Pearl Group say the delay is due to “various reasons” and have not given a new sale date.
The delay includes the flagship PlayStation 4, the portable PSV as well as their related products and games.
China last year authorized the domestic sale of game consoles through its first free trade zone in Shanghai, ending a ban originally instituted in 2000.
