SONY Corp's PlayStation 4 debuted in China on Friday with few games and bare-bones online services as the company navigates tight censorship rules to get a toehold in the world's biggest gaming market.
While the Chinese consoles are physically identical to those Sony sells worldwide, they have no access to music, TV shows and movies, and a library of just six games approved by the authorities. That's compared with almost 200 titles on Japan's PlayStation Store. Chinese players won't have Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, the top-selling games last year, according to VGChartz.com.
