Microsoft launches Chinese-language Xbox Live site

4.7

Xbox Live now has a Chinese-language site, prompting users to learn about Xbox Live and Windows 8 integration. Xbox Live is not available in China, most likely because of the country's ban on external social networking sites, WMPoweruser notes.

The sign up and sign in links on Xbox Live's Simplified Chinese page take users to English pages, transferring them to American servers. It's unclear if this means Microsoft has found a loophole that will allow Xbox Live to function officially in China, but this is a site in the right direction.

-Whiskey Almost seems like teasing users in china. But they could be accommodating to chinese-americans. I'm sure that is still a very small window.

True, never really thought about that. Even with all the Chinese friends I have.

But considering this option how big is the demographic for Chinese that haven't yet learned English that lived in america thus far. Almost seems like a lot of work for a small percentage.
