Right, and I agree.

The huge advantage Korea has over China and India, though, is the fact the median income is huge for the population base. If they ever transition to consoles......It'd probably be equal to France.

So selling ~60k DS/month is "huge" or no? Do you know if the number from the Korean Times for PSP sales is correct or do you have a different source for your 1m+ number? It's an interesting market to analyze.

yeah, and both countries love that beer and kraut (as in Kimchi or sauerkraut....) 

Do you have figures on how many DS and PSP have been sold in Germany?

If nintendo dominates korea too (which seems likely) would it be fair to compare sales to other machines since its another market's worth of sales. I guess thats similar to the xbox's situation in japan, but atleast the machine is available there.

It is good to see korea accepting any Japanese consoles now, given their history. I remember reading an article about the early days of arcade machines and korea loved them until it became common knowledge that they were made in japan. People were literally smashing the machines up, their hate for japan was so strong and games such as streetfighter had alot of their japanese references removed.

Capturing Korea almost exclusively would be a massive boost to Nintendo anyway, I hope they do it, It would be nice to see some of the better Korean developed games getting western translations, but i'm not hopeful.

fkusumot , he was talking about gaming markets trend. Korea and Germany gaming markets are heavily PC PC - centric.

I was wondering if he had any of those PSP numbers for Korea and if those were following a trend like that in Germany. I was also interested in finding out where he got that number he came up with for Korea. I guess he's not reading this thread anymore.

 I understand. Maybe he was wrong ( his post was very vague ). However I provide you my sources
