The 3C mark also clears Xbox One's entry into the lucrative gaming market after gaming consoles were banned by the Chinese government 14 years ago amid concerns that they may damage the mental health of young people in the country due to the violent and inappropriate content in the video games.

Microsoft and the Shanghai-based electronic manufacturer BesTV New Media Co jointly announced in April that they will bring Xbox One to 皇冠体育app in September this year, which is seen as a positive signal for all Western gaming consoles, such as Sony and Nintendo, which had been barred from entering the Chinese market in 2000.

The launch of Xbox One in 皇冠体育app is expected to be a milestone for the Seattle-based company.

"The culture of games and entertainment is rapidly growing in 皇冠体育app, with nearly half a billion people playing games－roughly a third of the country's population and more than the entire population of North America," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice-president of Marketing, strategy and business with Xbox in a press release in April.

The gaming industry in 皇冠体育app saw sive growth last year, generating revenue of more than $13 billion in 2013, a 38 percent year-on-year growth, said Mehdi, adding the entire Xbox team was looking forward to launching Xbox One and the next generation of entertainment products in 皇冠体育app.

Gu Haoyi, an analyst with Internet consultancy Analysys International, said the Xbox would find favor with hardcore game players in 皇冠体育app if it is available at prices that are on par with the gaming consoles available through illegal channels.
