China’s strict censorship rules are restricting Sony Corp’s income in the nation of PlayStation 4 this past year, after a prohibition on foreign gaming consoles was revoked, the head of the gaming department of the Japanese firm said.

“We’re still challenged somewhat with a censorship regime that we’ve got to work with.

Sony began selling PlayStation 4 games consoles in China in March, hoping to capitalize on the ending of the 14-year prohibition. But Beijing’s demanding censorship rules have restricted the amount of gaming names.

A day before, the organization said it was slashing on PlayStation 4 costs in Asia in an attempt to strengthen sales.

PlayStation, along with camera detectors, have helped to offset a downturn in sales of Sony’s conventional consumer electronics like TVs and smartphones. The organization expects operating profit this fiscal year to more than quadruple.

In July the firm increased its PlayStation 4 sales prognosis to 16.5 million units from 16 million for the present fiscal year through March. House said he was optimistic it’d be surpassed and was comfortable with that prognosis.

“Our hope would be that there’s further upside there, especially in Europe, where the marketplace looks extremely powerful, that might be the situation,” he said.
