The world's most heavily populated nation has had a lot of loyal gamers through the past two decades. In this generation, two game platforms seem to have hit the Sino sweet spot and have cashed in on the opportunity.

The first among the two is the Nintendo Wii. The lowest-priced video games console of this generation is making waves as pirates have once again proven their resourcefulness and have developed a modchip that allows universal compatibility of the console to backup copies of games.

The Wii is marked at 3000 Yuan, equivalent to about $388. Even if that amount seems substantially higher than regular American Wiis, consumers are embracing the modded machine because the pirated games cost only about $1.90 per copy. In the long run, the gamers, the pirates and Nintendo win because of the hot demand for modchips, games and consoles all at low prices. Developers, however, come out as the losers in this battle.

The second platform loved by the Chinese is the PC. Massively multiplayer online RPG Zhengtu has sparked a fever across the People's republic with 2.8 million players logging in per day. The game is substantially more popular to World of Warcraft as shown by sales figures, and the reason may lie in the game's nature.

The game has unlimited PK and it's free to play. Players can pour in real cash to top up their accounts to obtain mighty virtual items. The result is a polarized environment where there's a dominant bloc of spenders preying on weak avatars who choose not to spend real cash on the game.
