What kind of numbers could consoles do in China?

I thought they already did this?
I read something about this a few months back.

Anyways... This would be great :D

1/7 worlds population.

I'd say a decent amount.

It was rumored that they were going to do it but it never happen yet. also china's population is big so hopefully they embrace gaming

2 billion.

Article says first time since 2000. Is that mainly stating foreign companies because Nintendo did a partnership with iQue for the iQue Player which played N64 games which was released Nov. 2003 in China.
