There should be a Chinese company that decides to create a console, I would gladly import it and buy games for it, that should help my Chinese.

Its actually strange one hasn't build yet, at least an orginal one since there are tons of clone consoles already made by Chinese companies. Foxconn, a Chinese company, builds all the consoles anyway so they know how to build one.

Yahh but who the hell would make games for it ? and release them in pirate heaven.... wheres the $$$ in that.

Well developers make games for the PC still and that's a massive priate heaven too, its the whole reason for the cheap steam sales after all. The Chinese  government would have to crack down on pirates for sure, and there are Chinese game developers. Piracy of software is everyone in every country and it doesn't kill the industry if controlled properly. 

Come on you cant compare pirating in China to anywhere else. They rip of cars for fraks sake, want a bmw that is not a bmw yep they got it.

Pirate heaven that is true but a lot of money get spent aswell. In a few years the market will spend more than 20 billion $ a year that is a huge market to ignore.

its a complex situation, but it speaks volumes to me that no electronics corp from China has yet to make a serious attemp at a console.
