Quick assessment
Korea - Due to PC being dominant platform
China - Sort of are with knock offs, also PC is big there
Japan came into consoles at its economic peak of the 1980s and ruled the roost for a while. It took Microsoft, one of the biggest companies in the world, an entire generation of losing money to get its foothold.
I remember Nokia (Finland) tried in a way with the N-Gage and that failed. Right now the mobile business was new and proftibale so Apple (American), Samsung (Korean), HTC (Chinese) and others have found gaming of a sort there. Traditional gaming is viewed as stagnating or declining so why dump money into something with so little return?
