6 Challenges for Qualcomm's Zeebo in China

a game console in china will succeed *unless* they figure out how to pirate the games. the assumption of every game console shop in china is precisely that noone will ever buy a non-pirate version of any game. for example, apparently nintendo DS is hard to pirate and so DS is virtually nonexistent in china.

and finally, you if need a TV to play it, chinese youth have no use for this console and i suspect in other countries too.

Whats missing in china is a portable game device with a mobile phone built-in. Sony and Nintendo have been slow to come to market with that, so there was a business opportunity for someone to come in with a properly designed gamephone (Nokia failed). I am surprised that given qualcomm expertise in phone cpu chips they could not get this right.
