If I really wanted to troll, I could have just reposted the Kotaku headline.

OMG PS3 FAILURE!!!! Sony withdrawing from console race, too much losses to handle.

 

PS3 hate continues it seems and it is unrelenting on Kotaku among others.

Well, if I had seen crowds like this, I'd be the first to say the Koreans are PS3 crazy and Sony knows how to throw one hell of a launch.

That is not fair at all in Korea: Starcraft > oxygen.

1 in 4 of every single south korean has played Starcraft at least once in their life. Is there any game like that on any level in any other place in the world? no.

I really find it fascinating and amazing how one country has adopted one game so much it's really mindblowing and makes me sad that I wish video games were more accepted as well in other places.

In Japan console gaming rules and PC is dead, in Korea it's the other way around. Very strange differences, anyone have any idea why this is?

The PS3 launches in the US and Japan seemed pretty exciting. There are some good photos of large lines and such. I'm just saying the Koreans look a bit subdued.
