Thank you for your thorough answer - I was also trying to dig up some statistics about HDTV adoption rates, but they seem to be very hard to find, though in the process I have learned much about HDTV buying habits and manufacturers in China (I've also learned that when it comes to 4K TV sets adoption, China is number 1 in the world).

The reason I was wondering about HDTV household penetration was that I've found interesting article from early 2013 that states that from estimated 350-360 million TV sets in US, according to some market analysts, up to 55% are still old CRTs...which is quite a lot, so I was guessing that could be the case with China too.

As I said in previous post, not sure that most of Wii audience cares for its low 480p resolution, but while CRTs are pretty forgiving, it can look quite ugly on HDTVs (unless they have some very good upscalers, like some projectors do).

On the side note, I'm really curious if Wii knockoffs, like JungleTac's Sport Vii, had any success in China, and how much marketing there was for them.

That is sorta like asking why Grocery store plug n plays don't have marketing. Those things are a tiny MB hot glued to a super cheap plastic case 5x larger than the MB.

Actually, this one was even released in Japan, so that's why I was wondering of audience awareness from someone who is Chinese...but, please, do chime in.
