  _{Seems to me they aren't impressed with the Gimmick and lack of great, must buy games the Wii has.}

    There are a reasonable amount of must-buys out for the Wii so far, but that's not the case here.
    
    It isn't just the Wii, but console gaming as a whole isn't so popular over in Korea since it mainly consists of PC players. Koreans are probably not into the casual games as much either, which doesn't really benefit the Wii.
    
    With that, handhelds are doing fine over there, since both the DS and PSP seem pretty popular.

      _{So what...I bet you the other consoles are doing better. Hey there's like 8, maybe, must buys for the Wii. Its mainly consists of Wii sports and fit, and to be honest im not the only one who thinks this.}

        Yep the other consoles will be doing better for sure, since they'll be a higher range of hardcore gamers over there, but still, as it stands in Korea:
        
        PC gaming > Handheld gaming > Console gaming

  to be honest, I'm not surprised. Korean Gamers are all about PC gaming.

  Koreans are the most hardcorest of hardcore gamers. Parents play MMOs along with their kids there.
  
  So a console aimed at the "casual" crowd such as the Wii isn't as appealing to them.

  As much as the Nintendo Wii rocks, I don't see too many Koreans playing those sort of games.

    Why not? Is there some sort of different mindset exclusive to Koreans? I don't understand.

      Because they're simply not interested in the types of games that Wii has to offer.
      Same reason Japan isn't very interested in the XBox 360.
      
      As mentioned by Rinkydink, South Koreans are highly enthusiastic with their PC gaming, followed by handhelds (the DS is very popular over there), followed by console games.

  Many of you did mention that maybe Koreans just aren't as enamored by the Wii and its gimmick-games. Hell, other Asian countries (except maybe Taiwan) aren't as infatuated with Japan/Japanese as many Americans/Westerners are.
  
  But there's also the fact that Koreans are very proud, and in Asian countries, Japan's past crimes against them still creates a sore spot. That is to say, Korean consumers might be less willing to buy into a Japanese product... then again, not sure how well the PS3 did in South Korea, or how well the Wii did in other Asian countries.
  
  "...from Japan to America"
  
  In the literal sense, there isn't much between Japan and America, just a really freaking big body of water. =P Otherwise, Japan and America are *not* that different if you see them both as consumer cultures -- heavily capitalistic, driven by (and dependent on) each other's economies.
