Forums - Gaming - Bad news for Nintendo: 3DS hacked

cyberninja45 on 01 October 2011

Well from this vid I think you should put a question mark at the end of the thread title.



My 3ds friendcode: 5413-0232-9676 (G-cyber)

Actually i'm okay with this, so long as it gets Region-Free up off the ground. I'd like to be able to pick up Monster Hunter Tri G while i'm in Japan (if i get to go this time...)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It's only bad news for Nintendo, because they sell the system at a loss now.


No they don't.

It's the PSP all over again...

Actually it would be similar to the DS. While the DS was easier to pirate (seriously all it took was a card and some roms), it was PSP that suffered from piracy (it wasn't as simple). 

However some people are saying this might not be legit enough, so wait and see. 

The PSP didn't suffer from piracy, it suffered from a bad lineup of dumbed down home console games. Doesn't this explanation sound way more logical when the PSP software sales in Japan are taken in consideration?

Except, PSP software did/ still doing good in Japan.

I think he was trolling/sarcasm, but I can't tell with rol.

Honestly, I just amuse him since no one seems to know what to think about him anymore.

It will be a non-issue because the 3DS appeals mostly to children and they aren't smart enough to take advantage of the hack.

you underestimate children

I was a child once and have a few at my house. I know how dull they can be.

That means that the region lock shit is going to hell.
  I wasn't going to get one until it was hacked... they pulled a fast one, though. I may have one sooner than expected.

You can either connect the dots or believe the cheap excuse that the PSP suffered from piracy.

Piracy was rampant on both the DS and PSP, yet software sales on the DS were still doing fine. Why is that? Because the possibility to pirate games doesn't make honest customers buy less software. What makes them buy less software is the lack of compelling software. The DS had those games, so people kept buying them. The PSP has them in Japan, that's why they sell over there.

Somehow the PSP is the first system to suffer massively from piracy, but in reality this is just being said, because it's easier than admitting that the PSP by and large lacks games that are worth buying (and the ones that are, are mostly Japanese-centric, so don't sell much in the West anyway).


Another thing is demographic, but this argument can go on for awhile, and I rather watch Doctor Who! Good day Rol!
