China Getting Its Own Console: Introducing The ‘Fun Box’

No, you’re not reading P4RGaming. Telecoms company ZTE Corp and online game maker The9 Ltd are partnering up to make a Chinese only games console to be called the Fun Box.

The new console will be powered by a Tegra 4 chip and run on 2 GB RAM. It will also have USB and microUSB ports, WiFi, Bluetooth, and it will allow HD streaming. The console is unlikely to leave the country, although we doubt you will be feeling left out. If anything, it’s simply a sign the big console makers will have to treat the opportunity in China differently than in the current major gaming markets.
