Well, they've already launched Wii in Korea. As long as the hardware is profitable then I don't think the manufacturers are overly concerned about piracy in emerging markets. Lucky for SCE Asia that the loss-leading PS3 hasn't been hacked yet.

Is piracy that widespread in Korea?

Same as nearly everywhere else in Asia.

Interesting, but expected.

yes, everyone has a R4 in Korea, i don't think i ever saw a DS without a R4 in Korea and i saw a lot of DSs.  Didn't matter the age, 3rd graders all had them as well as junior high kids.
