Fifth-generation video game consoles in Malaysia

Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, and Micorsoft XBOX 360 are not available in Malaysia while countries like Singapore and South Korea already have all of them launched since early this year. The main reason is because of the relatively high software piracy rate. This deters game manufactures and producers from wanting to plant their presence in a market which does not have mature intellectual property protection.

1st Generation - Atari, NES
2nd Generation - Super NES, Sega Saturn
3rd Generation - Playstation
4th Generation - Microsoft XBOX, Playstation 2
5th Generation - Nintendo Wii, XBOX 360, Playstation 3
