SCEJ opens Chinese strategy department

MCV Staff 1st April 2014 Business News

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia has opened a new business group specifically to focus on its Chinese console strategy.

Polygon reckons that a Japanese language press release from SCEJ confirms the news. The China Strategy Department will be headed up by SCEJ’s existing China strategy boss Takehito Soeda.

Yesterday it was revealed that Microsoft is stepping up its Chinese console launch strategy and has already partnered with Chinese media firms based in the Shaghai free trade zone.

China’s recent decision to temporarily lift its games console ban has got all of gaming’s major players excited thanks to the prospect of targeting over 1.35bn new, increasingly affluent consumers.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
