Um.....

Did R4 really hurt 3DS sales that much? Last I checked Pokemon, Mario, Dragon Quest, and Zelda all sold very very well.

I dunno if the Nintendo demograph is really affected much by piracy.

R4 killed DS software sales in Europe. By like a lot.

Maybe....Oh wait, F*** WOW!!!

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 18.06 million WW, 4.31 million in Europe, 6.44 million in NA
Pokemon Black/White -----14.70 million WW, 0.58 million in Europe, 5.34 million in NA

Without Piracy, Pokemon would have probably grown with Pokemon Black/White, instead of shrink... How the heck did Black/White 2 outsell the original in Europe by exactly 2:1 (1.16 million)...was this game harder to pirate?

Well.... let's hope this isn't legit, I was really hoping to see Nintendo murder Sony in the handheld market.

Woah. I knew it was bad but not THAT bad. I wonder of the PSP is selling so well in Europe now because they ran out of DS games to pirate. Derp.

They have flash cards which run DS games on 3DS consoles, so people who know about piracy and who are still buying consoles probably just get a 3DS in hopes that a future flash card will play 3DS ROMS.

I dunno, I like R4 and piracy. It's because of R4 that I can play ASH and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem on my DS (I did import the Japanese games to be fair though). It's because of EZ-Flash that I can play Earthbound 2 and Fire Emblem: Sealed Sword. If Nintendo localized every game that they publish in Japan, then I won't get a Piracy tool, but you know, even for Wii, it would have been real nice to be playing Pandora's Tower last year instead of now, where the hype has kinda died off...
