...The PlayStation 2 currently holds some 90 per cent of the console market in South Korea, according to Kunugita, and efforts to reduce software piracy and release online titles in the market have been having a marked effect on sales....

Kunugita hopes to stimulate interest in the console market by providing more locally developed content for the PS2 - with the first native title set to launch later this year. Tellingly, that first title will be a new version of Magna Carta - a popular Korean PC RPG title. Further locally developed software is expected to follow.
