Korea looks to be a wierd country. They reject playstation and go xbox..

isn't Korea and Taiwan mostly into MMO and/or multiplayers on PC?

Copy / paste from another post of mine :

PSP was lauched in Korea in May 2005. Nintendo DS was launched in Korea in January 2007.

I found this article by Korea Times with date 09/04/2007 that talk about the new model of PSP ( slim ) .

In this article there is the quote :

" A total of 360,000 PSP consoles have been sold in Korea, accounting for about 60 percent of the portable game console market here. Nintendo DS, a major competitor in the market, has sold about 300,000."

Maybe they are talking about units sold to customers until Agust ( I'm not sure ).

I think that 580K DS units sold to retailers is a great achievement for a portable console and for Nintendo.
