I came across a comment talking about how there's this thing someone has come up with that can be used to pirate 3DS games. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW3LxuDvHeI This youtube video (which I'm too lazy to embed) shows it "working."  

To be honest, I wouldn't be posting this if I could find the information for sure myself but how come everyone is taking it as if this thing is legit?  That it's real?  How do we know that based off of this video?  Also, if it is real, then what do you think would be the impact this thing will have?  

I already reported it to Nintendo Anti-piracy.

People who come up with this shit piss me off. If everybody did this there would not be any quality games.

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.

I think the lack of a solid white colour in North America hurts 3DS sales more. Seriously, NINTENDO, I want a 3DS XL, but not in a childs blue or red!

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

I would believe 3rd parties would suffer (those that exist).  Nintendo IPs could suffer, but I really don't know much about it.  My real question is why I am not seeing anyone question the legitimacy of the video.  Can we look at the video and know it wasn't tampered with and that everything is legit?  Reason why I'm skeptical is because there are videos of 3DS emulators/roms supposedly working but are actually fake.  Then again, it was on a PC which is more customizable and the footage itself doesn't have to be altered... but to me, it seems like this kind of just came out of nowhere and the website used doesn't really have much on it at all.

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.

Well it was only a matter of time.

Is it a coincidence that the two most ''pirated'' videogame systems ever are also the two best selling... ever? Totally off topic but how much would have Nintendo DS and PS2 sold if piracy didn't exist?

Online multiplayer in DS games was almost impossible thanks to flashcarts, I sincerely hope this was working on an older firmware or something so most people won't be able to use that kind of thing on 3DS.
