 Don’t
you love playing video games? I love them so much. Whether young or
old, everyone loves to play fun games. Today, you can see people
playing games everywhere. Nowadays Nintendo DS and
PlayStation Portable (PSP) are very famous among kids. It’s because
you can carry them anywhere. Nintendo or PSP
aren’t just popular in Korea. They are
loved by people all over the world.
I am sure you know these games and consoles are made in Japan.
But how come there is no Korean
company making games? Well,
there is. There is a small Korean company called GamePark. They make
a similar console to Nintendo
and PSP.
This might be surprising, but the Korean
game company’s console has much better technology. The console is
called Wiz. You might be asking, “If the console is
so good, how come nobody knows it?” Let me
give you the answer.
 You
see, Japan has been in the video game business for a very long time
- long before most of you were born.
There are thousands of game studios in Japan. In each studio, there are game
specialists working hard
to come up with new game ideas.
That’s why there are so many fun games for Nintendo and PSP. In Korea,
however, there are only 2 very small game studios. That’s very sad
because no matter how good Wiz is,
there are no games for the console!
 Recently, our President asked
some businessmen why Korea’s video games can’t compete with Japan. Can you
answer his question now? Yes, we have big electronic companies like
Samsung and LG. They have beaten Japanese companies
like Sony. But sadly, Korea is very new
to the video game world. I think in the next 10 years, things will
change big time! Since there are so many people
who love games, Korean game companies will make more game studios.
So, let’s wait and see. I bet soon enough, Korea’s Wiz
will be more famous than Nintendo. Wouldn’t it feel good to see Japanese
and American kids wanting Korean-made Wiz for Christmas?
That day will come soon! Of course, you guys will be grown ups by then. But hey! We all
love games, and age doesn’t matter, right? |
