Cars are necessities that a gaming console isn’t. And while China purchased more cars (because there is more growth there), the average car price is lower by 42% compared to the US, which is why, in 2015, the US new car sales is 40% higher than China in terms of value:

Middle class is defined as an annual salary of $9k to $16k. Upper middle class is $16k to $34k per year. And that’s by household too:

So, you just showed that the pricing structure of their economy is different and that a 1:1 dollar value ratio is invalid for comparison as it leans heavily in China's favor.

And no, car's are not a necessity in China.  This isn't suburban Phoenix or Houston we're talking about.  It's China, where mass transit is a way of life.

So will the Switch be selling for much cheaper there?
