If people were lining up like this for a PSP game you would be be doing the victory dance. Admit it.

Kwaad, those people are in line for Pokemon.  Give it a rest.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Wow. Kwaad, you're something else.

You guys kind of scare me. I can't tell if you're being serious or not. I'd like to think you're just trying to be humorous, but sometimes you guys just seem mean spirited.

Well, my point is, if it is in a city like NYC, or something, a crowd like that, isnt amazing. If it is in a residential area, they could seriously have 10,000+ people show up in a few hours... Just from the people who have kids within a few miles. It looks like alot of people are there, but seriously, there arent that many with their DS, it is known to be a Nintendo convention, so that means people come out in full force. I am not bashing nintendo or pokemon. I am just saying, that crowd doesnt look *all* that big to me. Looks relativly small actually.

Yeah, give it a break :) Just some random pictures taken by a guy, not "publicity" shots taken by Nintendo.

That last shot shows a lot of people, and they are all headed to the store. Its Pokemon, no surprise man!

(PS - check the link for even more pics, including some of the craziness in-store)

Is something wrong with you? I just wondar what your spin is when April NPD shows a combined sell though of Diamond and Pearl at over 1.5 million. Heck maybe it'll be closer to 2 million. I'm mean pre orders were double that of Fire Red and Leaf Green. My guess is you'll to the standard anti-Nintendo flame and say it was just all kids buying it.
