Isn't it suppose to launch in china too. Even though china's population is large you know everybody has a vii. So I could see 1-3 million wiis being sold there. How well did ps2 sell in china/southkorea

 1-3 million? Thats it?  China has a population of 1.3 BILLION.  You think only .07% of the population will buy a Wii?  And not everyone has a Vii.  The Vii is utter crap.  It has a couple games on it and thats it.  Its a supreme ripoff.

 The real reason why most people won't buy a Wii is because China is a generally poor country.  In 1998, China had a GDP of only $3,117 where the US had a GDP of $27,331 . 

 EDIT: Even if only 1% of the population of China buys a Wii, that is still 13 million consoles sold.
