This will be very interesting to see what kind of numbers it does there.



To Each Man, Responsibility

Are these numbers trackable?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Wow thats cheap. Maybe a look into the near future as the Wii gets a price cut? Or the fact that Korea is heavily into piracy, they need to make the games cheap enough to stop it.



 


 

Well, prices aren't that cheap for Asia, but you're right. Piracy is rampant in Korea, and Wii is easy to mod, so whilst it should see good HW sales, SW is another story.



Around the Network

That's not that cheap. $225 w/o sports and sports and play the same price as Zack & Wiki?? Do they both come with controllers?

How are they packaged in Japan and in Japan are they as expensive as the full priced games?



Korean packaging:

Wii Play comes with Wii Remote, Wii Sports doesn't. 



So will Korea be track under Others? Or will it be included with Japan?

Well even though they cant stop piracy in Korea atleast Nintendo have hardware boost in that region. Mod chips will also help too. I know because Im from the Philippines even with PS3 40 GB here is 20,000 pesos, 300 dollars compared to the Wii which is also 20,000 pesos, 300 dollars Wii sales here are selling like hotcakes LITERALLY because of piracy. Theres no pirated Blu ray disc here yet, and it will never be. Blu Ray will never be mainstreamed here, most of us here used SDTVs.

BTW why Wii here was 300 dollars because its a third party import, from the states. It even uses 110 volt instead of standard 220 volt plug that we using here. Considered Korea to be lucky because theyre paying the standard 225-250 dollars price range.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out
