Looks like Wii is launching in Taiwan officially on July 12th. Taiwan has ~23 million people, and per capita GDP of ~$30,000, and ~13 million internet users according to the world factbook.

Seems like Wii could sell 2-3 million in Taiwan, lifetime, in a best case scenario, though it probably will be lower than that in reality.

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

How about them apples. People probably have their Vii's there by now.

There is the matter of regional popularity. How popular is the Wii, or Nintendo for that matter, in Taiwan?

There was a thread before about this and I expect that the Wii will sell half so good/bad as in South Korea..

I would need to know how DS did there to figure out Wii. But I'm assuming Taiwan is very big in the PC gaming market, and so far Wii has done very well in PC heavy markets.

Finally, the Wii will start gaining some ground in the "Other" Other's region.
