syntotic: And the ban just expired, according to New York city tabloids. So!...
What tabloid, because my copy of the New York Post is all about Bat Boy eloping with Kim Kardashian. Nothing about China in there.

Video games weren't banned in China just most video game consoles. PC gaming is HUGE in China, Nintendo sold consoles during the ban, pirate/knockoff consoles were everywhere.

Definitely. Though, firecrackers are still pretty badass there nowadays. Except they don't care about 4th of July anymore, only the new year. :P

They also had a guy (Cant remember his name) who was so intelligent he could force kill people in an argument with his words. He invented the wooden oxen and it can move without any gas or materials all by itself.

No, he swung his fan around and he went up to this one guy who was really old. He told the guy that he was a disgrace to the world and to china. The guy had a stroke and died.

Source? From personal experience, mobile shovelware is HUGE in China. PC gaming not so much.

late releases ( the cube was already out by that time )
high price tag
lack of games ( 14 whole titles )

As far as I know, they play a lot of DOTA 2 (and I suppose every MOBA and MMO, Chinese gold farmers can't be just an urban legend ...?)

That sounds more likely, given Japanese/Chinese relations.

Well yep but later Nintendo introduced (together with the iQue brand) gba models and games/ds ones, too.
That's tasty... I wonder how's the console market in the PRC, since pc is so ginormous.

edit: apparently the thing's still strong there

Odd, considering bootleg NES's were sold from China during the 80's.

Not odd, they were just protecting national production, so the real ones wouldn´t compete ;P
