Microsoft is ever on the go in expanding its business interests. This time they are aiming to widen the scope of their gaming market. Theirs is a very wise move because they chose one of the most progressive countries there is today – none other than China. We all know that China has a large population, consequently a large online population. Reports have it that China’s online population alone is a good 132 million! Just imagine if Microsoft will be able to reach and persuade that population to try their gaming services. A market with this kind of population will certainly give a big boost to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 sales. Of course, we shouldn’t forget the Xbox Live service.

According to reports, Microsoft has been having talks with some local Internet service providers as well as various computer manufacturers regarding the Xbox 360’s launch in China. However, an official announcement is yet to be made by Microsoft regarding this matter. But as they say, if there’s smoke there’s fire. It is still better to keep watch on this issue; we might be in for some surprises.
