I'd say go for it, piracy or otherwise. If Nintendo still makes a profit from Hardware sales, then why not sell systems in China?
I can see Sony not wanting to launch in China, because then they would lose money on their system + not make any money in games.
But if Nintendo still can turn a profit on hardware sales alone, then I say do it.
As for games, I think if Nintendo starts a China division that handles the localization, distribution, and pricing, then it would help to curb piracy. Also, whose to say that China can't make their own games? Just like how Madden is huge in the USA, there should be Chinese software companies out there that can make localized game franchises that are hugely popular in China.
