According to a report from Reuters Tim Chen, Greater China chief executive for Microsoft is targeting 2006 as the year Microsoft’s new console hits China. The release there will be important as China is said to be the world’s fastest growing market.

Sales-wise, we’re improving. We had over 30 percent growth in our last fiscal year,” Chen told Reuters. “This year, hopefully, we can maintain similar growth.”

The Xbox 360 will debut in the industry’s three leading territories this year, with a North American launch on November 22nd, European launch on December 2nd and finally a launch in Japan on December 10th.
