That is a good news for 360.
On the other hand, Sony increases PS3 40GB price in Asia last week, trying to milk more money from GTA4 and upcoming MGS4.

In china, PSP is the most popular, you can often see people play it at railway. It mentions that it at least have 5M psps in China, most is from Japan and HK.

 

But there is zero PSP software sales

because everyone there play pirated games

360 is actually cheaper than a Wii BEFORE the price cut in many asian countries

It's not like Sony try to milk money from GTA fans

1) GTA is available on both 360 and PS3

2) It's not that big in Asia market

 

I believe that the real reason is the exchange rate of US dollars

Many asia countries pegged ther currency with US dollars, as it dropped a lot, US consoles become cheaper, on the contrary, products from other countries need to rise the price.
