Mass hysteria, most likely.
First week sales in Korea probably will hit somewhere near the 1m mark, with every Baang (Korean PC gaming cafe) having to buy about 50-60 copies each (and there are over 1,200 of them), whilst the rest of the population scoop up everything there.
Media wise, Korea has been exploding lately. If you look at movies (to me, a great indicator of where gaming can go), Korea, along with China, have been exploding: each new movie does better and better. I never thought of Korea loving western movies, but some movies debut with $10m USD first week sales (for example, Japan's top movies are around $25m at best).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
