They'll go limited release in Korea. The market for console games in Korea is not the same size as its PC market. Of course that may have changed in the last few years since I lived there. One of the main things keeping the console market down in particular is that fact that most of them are products of Japan. National pride is a factor in reducing sales, leading to stigma for Japanese games, much like the Xbox has been stigmatized in Japan.
I don't see the Vii as evidence there is an instant market for millions of Wiis in China. It's a simple cheap copy of an intellectual property, something that is common in China. Unless VGC wants to start tracking Vii sales as an estimate as to how large the market is for the Wii, I'm going to say these things are not flying off the shelves in millions.
