Nintendo has said it hopes to launch its very popular Wii console in China and South Korea starting next year in an effort to cement its lead over the competition.
For the year, the Wii has been outselling both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 by a hefty margin to become the best selling next-gen console in the market.
"Since the Xbox 360 was launched one year ahead, it is roughly on par with the Wii in total sales. But if you take a look at current momentum in net growth, the Wii is well ahead" said Daiwa Institute of Research analyst Koki Shiraishi.
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata had the following to say about their upcoming plans for the Wii. "We suffer a global shortage of the Wii. Our responsibility now is to deliver as many consoles as we can to existing markets, but next year, I think we can bring the Wii (to China)."
