@mrstickball: The 5-10$ in China would roughly equal 50-100$ in the west, atleast for the average worked, so even with prices that low, it wouldn't be "cheap". But if you release the the game there a few years after its initial release, when the game is already budget priced in the west, the business model could be viable.
The movies in China seems to make money from first day sales in theatres, after that, they are found pirated from the market.
Anyway, the chinese government have said, that they are going to fight the piracy and if they have any kind of success, combined with prices going down to a level, which would be somewhat accessible to the average worker, we could see something happening to the piracy.
