Sony receiving Government Help from Taiwan

Sony and Taiwan wouldn't even have to be doing this had Sony kept developers in mind when they were creating the PS3 and made a system that was as easy (and as similar to the PC) to develop for as the Xbox 360.

As for games for mainland China does anyone really think that an expensive console that has no piracy is going to have much success there against its two cheaper rivals, both of which can be easily pirated?

Do you mean if Sony had created the PS3 easier to program for, we will have more games developed for Chinese market?

If that's the case, why haven't we seen Taiwanese developers making games for Xbox360?

Piracy issue, right!  Maybe that's why the Taiwanese government is willing to sponsor this project and the developers are willing to participate.  It doesn't make sense to develop games mainly for Chinese market (i.e. Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and Singapore) on consoles that can be easily pirated (i.e. Xbox360 and Wii).
