Like I said in the other thread, in the January Investors' meeting Iwata said they plan to push into Asian markets with WiiU using digital distribution. The same probably holds true for 3DS.

| spurgeonryan said: Things are different now. Nintendo has allowed games to be purchased digitally now. Chinese can just buy new games and eshop games online now right? I do not know if the DS was sold in China, but I think the 3DS is better equipped for the area. Nintendo can finally push into other countries now on a much larger scale because of digital. What does this mean for 3DSsales you vgchartz number wizards? |
Yes, it was sold in China under iQue brand:

Probably going to be hacked sooner or later and pirated the hell out of it, just like DS :D I could imagine that it wasn't because of lack of DD why Nintendo weren't eager to push hardware outside of three major markets, like, say, Sony. The question was raised multiple times on investors mettings, so Iwata got that covered multiple times as well.
IQue has made versions of many of nintendoes consoles. 3DS is not the first. They all use digital games also as far as I know. Nothing new here.

lol... thing is they could.. anything can happen.. ONLY once they hacked the vita to run hacked DS/3DS games on it.. then you have a sony console with cheap Nintendo games! ..
"For good" would suggest that the 3DS will sell over 150 mil, and faster than the DS did. So it would be the fastest console to 150 mil in video game history. Just because it's going to be sold in China.
Hey, I'm sure it'll sell a few thousand in China or whatever. It'll sell alright I guess. But this will hardly be the deciding factor for worldwide 3DS sales going forward.

PSP and DS were both hacked, but PSP won against DS completely in China.
Nintendo has no brand influnce in China,Because nintendo is a pure game company,Chinese government prevent game console from being sold in China.So it's difficult for Nintendo to enter Chinese market.But Sony has various kinds of products can be sold in China,so Sony has more brand influnce and more fans in China.That's why PSP won against DS——Everyone knows sony,everyone can plays free games on PSP.
