Does this mean it will be unfair to count sales from China because Sony/MS don't ship there?

PS2 had an official release in China afaik, Bandai Namco's even published games for it through their Chinese affiliate.  Sony gave up on the system pretty quick though, and it only had a limited "major city" release on the mainland.  SCE used to report Chinese figures separately in their regional breakdowns so it'd probably be included in their current worldwide ltds still, unlike iQue's GBA or DS sales.  This is probably because SCE China was seen as a pure subsidiary while iQue is a joint venture (and thus technically a different company from Nintendo).  Sony never released PSP in China though, even though they hinted at it awhile back.

Sony's always had a strong "official" presence in Hong Kong though, while Nintendo never has.

It was huge sarcasm towards the guy who was whining about Sony shipping the PS3 to areas Nintendo/Microsoft don't ship Wii/360 If I remember correctly, he was whining saying it wasn't fair and they shouldn't count.
