Now that the 3DS is coming out in China will it be able to stay ahead of the DS for good?

I don't think the iQue sales are included in regular 3DS sales. Anyway, iQue released an N64, GBA and DS before, so 3DS is not the first.

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.

iQue will not open eshop for i3DSXL at launch time.

No eshop in the list.

Vita will win in China,apparently.

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! ..

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.

I see... so meaning vita already won china then?.. not apparent but plain obvious then..

Vita sales better than 3ds now.

taobao.com is one of the biggest shopping website in China,you can see psv sales better than 3ds.

In fact they are both losers,markets is being robbed by smart phones and tablets...
