Wii sales weak in South Korea

May 23rd, 2008 @ 09:43

According to this GameShot piece (translated by Kotaku), the Korean Wii launch has been something of a dead duck.

Since the machine launched in the country last month, it’s sold only 35,000 units sold out of the 50,000 units released by Nintendo. As for software, Wii Sports sold 30,000 copies, while Swing Golf Pangya and Zack & Wiki each sold about 8,000 copies. FIFA sold 2,000 copies.

Just goes to show.
