Game News - Korea - A Bad Market For Console Gamers

   This is a fact, confirmed with every day of transactions on the game market. It's quite surprising that in a country geographically close to Japan, computers had always had a clear advantage. This means that the every full blow, represented by empty store shelves, lengthy localization delays for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 game titles, and the fact that some titles refuses to show up, is amplty received by console owners.

   Here's what Lee Yo-han, an Xbox 360 owner, has to say:

   "Things are better now, but still you've got limited choices in game titles, and you may wait for three or four months to buy some games, which have already been released in other countries."

   I guess that was meant to happen eventually, so I'm not the person to feel sad for this situation. Everywhere, somebody ends up being neglected. But with a permanently thriving black market, things are bound to change, even if it's not the right solution.
