China lifted a 13-year ban on gaming consoles and will draft rules allowing the machines to be made in the new Shanghai free-trade zone, potentially opening the door for Sony Corp. to Nintendo Co. to enter the market.

China’s ruling State Council temporarily suspended the ban while new rules are drafted, the council said in a statement posted to its website yesterday.
