Nintendo Switch launches in China on December 10 for $300 venturebeat.com

(Reuters) — Japan’s Nintendo said on Wednesday it will officially launch its Switch gaming console in mainland China on December 10 priced 2,099 yuan ($298) with local partner Tencent.
Nintendo plans to release hit titles Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey in China in the next few weeks.
The launch of its handheld-only Switch Lite device, which went on sale worldwide in September, is also being prepared for the country.
Rival Sony’s PlayStation 4 console, which uses its graphical fidelity as a selling point, has failed to achieve widespread acceptance since its 2015 China launch.
“We believe that Nintendo Switch will replace the PlayStation 4 as the market leader in China by 2022 when accounting for both legal and grey market sales,” said analyst Daniel Ahmad at Niko Partners.
