Aren't these markets primarily PC markets? Especially Korea is heavily into f2p games right? Having that info would paint a much more complete and interesting picture of those markets. I know you're just posting the media create data which doesn't track this, but I wish we had something that did.

Further confirmation that Nintendo Switch does in fact have worldwide appeal.

Do you know how many games skipped Switch because they were aiming at Asian and/or Worldwide audiences?

It used to be very much taken for granted that Nintendo/Switch was very weak in Asia before we got any data and it was used to explain some Japanese publisher's reluctance to support it.I'm being a bit snarky.

And this is 2019, I have this feeling that the South Korean hardware numbers for 2020 will be (relatively) insane due to all the lockdowns, especially Switch.

Is there a chart of game sales (which games) for South Korea? Its interesting because Nintendo had a weird launch of the 3DS there where only a small number of games were localised as far as I know, but the Switch I get the impression is a lot bigger? Also hard to come across retail console game shops there. I've only ever seen them in small stalls in underground malls or electronics marts, or a tiny 3DS section in a Kyobo.

We get a top 5 every week from Taiwan and South Korea. It's pretty much a Switch only chart.

Is the ratio of Pro to normal PS4 out of the ordinary? I don't know how it is in other countries but they seem like a lot of Pro.

Seeing the Pro sell so much more than the base is weird.

Yeah. I live in Korea and it's so hard to find a place for physical PS4 games, even in the big cities. I'm in Busan and I found only one small vendor in an underground shopping centre.

There is no GameStop equivalent. All my students only play PC, mostly League.

so total Taiwan software was ~1 million each for ps4 and Switch for all of 2019? Oof. Small market. Same for South Korea.

why no Xbox data on Korea? So small it's not relevant, or other reason?

And only Xbox One X is sold in Taiwan or? Weird data for Xbox. Wish Xbox was included however small.
