China and India have the potential to sell maybe a few million consoles this gen, but that's about it honestly. Most people in the countries are pretty poor by Western standards, but both have a growing middle classes, that are starting to buy luxuries like electronics. The HD consoles are probably too expensive to ever sell a notable amount, but the Wii and DS might be somewhat succesful, especially by the time they drop to 100€ or below.
I expect them to become more relevant to the console war by next gen, and the one after that.
