Yeah. I reported for the title change.

Non handheld you mean.Wii and PS2 are the only consoles there to sell over 1 million consoles.

Wow those are some crazy sales numbers then, wonder what the game sales are looking like.Strong opening for Switch in Korea.
Wii and PS2 are the only consoles there to sell over 1 million consoles. So that should give people a rough size of the market. Console is still very niche there compared to Mobile / PC.
PS4 is the current leader in SK and Sony have done really well growing the market there.
Nintendo off to a good start with launch. Most analysts expect maybe 150k units to be sold in 2018 there.
It's abysmal in raw numbers (PC was the size of China's market until 2011 or so, which was already massive then) - but it's not so small as to be irrelevant.I thought the console market is abysmal in SK (since PC is king), so this is quite impressive.
Ohhh hell yes!
That's remarkably frontloaded, and also just tiny. Like, even smaller than something like the Netherlands most likely.Strong opening for Switch in Korea.

Apparently DS sold 1 million by the end of 2007 according to this article. It's in Japanese, though, so I can only assume the machine translation conveys the truth. Don't know when DS launched in South Korea either.Non handheld you mean.
DS outperformed Wii and then some IIRC - at its peak you literally couldn't walk the street without bumping into people using the device everywhere.
On the topic of China it kinda got buried but The Pokémon Company is starting to distribute merchandise and said it will include the games in the future.
Would be weird to officially distribute games for a system that isn't officially distributed in the market.
? Why, it's less than the UK opening in March? Or you mean that percentagewise it's not that far off UK numbers?Those sales are crazy when you compare it to to a market like the UK.
Kudos@Nintendo
No kidding. UK is a big market (though not quite as successful for Switch), and these numbers are probably only a bit behind UK launch numbers for the month, which is really unbelievable when you compare the markets.Those sales are crazy when you compare it to to a market like the UK.

I'm not saying the markets are simillar necessarily. I'm just saying that South Korea is simillar in terms of size and population density. But you are right that this can apply to most Asian countries in general.
Tell me that you are joking.... Please.By Korea do you mean South Korea?
There are two Koreas and they are entirely separate countries.
I can't imagine many outside companies can sell in North Korea, though

Seriously, why do those things fly?

Are some scandinavia countries like the only places in the planet where Switch isn't a success??
the thing seems to be breaking records everywhere else.
EDIT: and the UK, of course
This really a question?By Korea do you mean South Korea?

I thought he was saying that Switch wasn't breaking records in the UK (doesn't match grammatically, but fits the content of the comment better). It's definitely successful in the UK. Not on the level of PS4 or Wii, but still successful enough.What source do you have that says the Switch is clearly not a success in the U.K.? It has 3 exclusives in the top 10 best selling software in the week just gone as an example to contradict that.
Isn't this number now wildly off? Surely double or triple that number now for all 2018?Strong opening for Switch in Korea.
