--FILE--View of the stands of Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) and XBOX One during the 12th China Digital Entertainment Expo, also known as ChinaJoy 2014, in Shanghai, China, 2 August 2014. Sony Corp. said Tuesday (10 March 2015) that after months of delays it will start selling its flagship PlayStation 4 videogame console in mainland China. The Japanese entertainment and electronics giant said that sales will kick off from Friday next week. Its hand-held entertainment Vita device will also go on sale. Sony said last week it has already sold more than 20 million PlayStation 4 units. The solid performance of the company¯s videogame segment has prompted chief executive Kazuo Hirai to designate the unit an important investment target over the next few years. If Sony¯s console is able to gain a foothold in the massive Chinese market, it would likely give sales of the already-popular game console another shot in the arm.
