The reason behind the 13 year old console gaming ban was attributed to fear that there were violent and “unhealthy” elements in video games, and this might eventually impart to the youth with politically sensitive ideas. Hmmm, how come PC gaming was not banned? To lift the ban on console gaming is not all that simple, however, as it will require the approval of at least seven different ministries, before console manufacturers are able to come into an agreement to set up their factories within the recently proposed free-trade zone that will be located in Shanghai. I am sure that gaming studios cannot wait for this ban to be lifted in a country that has over a billion people living there.
