The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita handheld are coming to China in January after the country lifted its 14-year ban on foreign video-game consoles earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Sony announced on Thursday that its offerings will be available in China as of Jan. 11, 2015. The PS4 will cost 2,899 RBM ($468.63), while the Vita will retail for 1,299 RBM ($209.99). Both will be available in black and white options.<\/p>\n

Sony said 70 third-party publishers will bring games to China, and Chinese game publishers will also make some titles for the PS4, including Age of Wushu<\/em> and One Touch Hero<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“PS4 is expanding at the fastest rate in PlayStation hardware history, and the global gaming community is enjoying the ultimate entertainment experience only available on PlayStation,” said Andrew House, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted that we are able to fully launch our business in China, which is a market with great potential. We look forward to delivering exciting software, convenient services and entertainment experiences only possible on PlayStation to the many gamers in China.”<\/p>\n

China opened its foreign game-console market on Jan. 7, 2014, reversing a decision made by the government in 2000. The Xbox One went on sale in China in September; before that, China’s main gaming devices were PC and mobile devices.<\/p>\n
