Seriously, try finding a game store in any major city in China which don't stock any of the current gen consoles, even though none have been officially released there yet. Same is true in South East Asia. You don't even need to get them "chipped", as the stores have already done it. Granted, demand will go up once it's officially released, as it will be cheaper, and be advertised, but the console market isn't mature enough yet to sell mega numbers. In ten years time it might be a different story. It's not something I've heard, I frequently travel to Shanghai, Hong Kong/Macau/Shenzhen I live in the region.

I can't find any game store in a major city in China, because I'm not there. Interesting that you can find these, then -- why would Nintendo plan an official "launch" if this is the case? I clearly don't understand the Chinese market, because I also didn't know WoW was played largely through cafes.

Any info would be appreciated!

I wouldn't say "Widley available" but a number of wii's have been bought, modded and sold for a profit from Japan. Or that's what i've read on the matter anyway.

Not sure why the chinese would want a modded wii in Japanese.   

Now a Wii sold at actual price instead of inflated. That might go over better.  With actual chinese language added on?  Or atleast english?  That would go over much better.

Also... would actually be "widely" available.
