hello, everyone, I am from Hong Kong, I am new here.

Do you want to know a bit more about Aisan video games industry outside Japan, and what is the video gaming trend in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and even Korea?

If your answer is yes, I will post some interesting gaming news constantly, but first all you, you guys need to put up with my crappy English, as English isn't my mother tongue, I will try my best to make you guys understand though.

Here is something you may interest:

There are 7 video games magazines in Hong kong published weekly. 1 on Wed, 2 on Thur, 2 on Fri and 2 on Sat

The handheld market dominates by PSP in China,  outselling DS by more than 3:1

In Hong Kong, Will Fit was sold at about HK$1400 (about US$ 179) last week, and it is selling at around HK$700 (about US$ 90) this week. Rumored that it will down to below HK$500 (about US$ 64) in the near future.

The official Xbox360 games cost HK$299 (about US$ 38)

There are 2 version of Wii selling in Hong Kong, one is Japanese version and one is for NA. Hong Kong people tend to the Japan version and it's cheaper.

A NA version Wii is more expensive than a Xbox360 or even a PS3, which is crazy.
