All of you posters that think china is going to have an impact on gamings sales are not thinking straight, china is a poor country. In the Chinese capitol the average income is $4512 as of the end of 2006. This is in their major city. As you start to leave the major cities the average income is insanely low. While the top tier income in Beijing is 12,500 on average.

True it is a poor country, but a lot of people still find chance to play WoW, so they can obviously afford some things, launching the Wii for around 720 Yuan would probably be a success


 I don't think Nintendo can launch the wii for such a low price in the near future, maybe at the end of the wii's life or 1 year into the next gen.  But sales 5 years out are so hard to predict, but if they do go to china they should market it as the Super power china box and have the chinese flag on the side,  It would sell alot better.


 Well even it take then 3-4 years before they can do that then its fine, it'll probably be that long before they have ample supply anyways, but it'll be good, because Wii could probably go 10 years plus, so even 5 years into its lifespan it would continue to be a big seller, I don't think nintendo would mind.



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
