According to the China Daily, China will lift its long-standing ban on foreign video game consoles.
Earlier this year, sources claimed Chinese government officials had confirmed the end of the ban, but it did not appear to be true at the time.
Console makers Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft should be happy with the decision, as they may have a chance to break into a market with over 1.5 billion citizens.
Of course, the ban will not be completely revoked, as manufacturers will need to sign China's new Shanghai free trade zone.
