Nintendo doesn't really care about the market in Taiwan, at least not at the level like Microsoft or Sony. Regardless, most gamers there who wants a Wii already got one anyway because it is not difficult to import consoles/games from Japan or US.
The ironic thing is (from what I heard), the official released Wii won't have "traditional Chinese" (the official language) interface...... That's right, only Japanese, no other option. Right now, Nintendo only localized Wii sport and Wii play for the Taiwanese market. Gamers there are saying "why bother?" "the only difference is the controllers will be cheaper"..... Anyway.... -_____-!
I don't really understand why Nintendo can't come up the OS similar to PS3 or Xbox360: one OS supports ALL languages.
@yushire,
People in Taiwan don't buy Vii, they make fun of it!
Piracy is still a problem in Taiwan, but the situation for console games is much better than the PS1/PS2 era. More gamers grew up playing video games now have steady incomes and they do pay for games. I guess that is the reason Microsoft and Sony are willing to invest money localizing their products for the traditional Chinese market (Taiwan and Hong Kong).
Regarding the piracy on PSP (or even DS), don't get me started........
