Piracy -the main reason why Nintendo would have wanted to stick into cartriges. This doesn't mean that Nintendo wouldn't release Wii in China. Although, piracy makes game releasing a little less profitable. I don't think that everyone would get modchips to their Wiis and still someone has to buy the original copy. I do believe that Nintendo will release Wii in China, in 1 to 2 years. It will be a local version, like the Asian version of NES.

cartriges don't do squat.  in asia, back in the NES days, you can buy cartridges where you have 100 games combined into onto 1 single cartridge for like $10 US.  i would know... i bought a grand total of 3 cartridges on the NES.  one 199 games in one (all kinds of classic, like bomberman and 1942), one 32 games in one (all Mario games in existence to that point plus some), and a chinese chess game that's developed in taiwan (this one is a semi-legal version; in the sense that while it's manufactured by the publisher, the publisher doesn't have rights to make NES games).  i think they cost me $300 HK ($40 US) in all.



the Wii is an epidemic.
