Forums - Nintendo - ELSPA: 90 per cent of US gamers use DS piracy chip

@ Spire_VII

Off topic: It's too bad your sharks got whooped by the Flames last night hey buddy?

On topic: I really don't believe that 90% number. 90% of people don't even know how to get anything pirated.



Just kiss the tip.

John Hillier, manager of ELSPA's Intellectual Property Crime Unit, said that the R4 – a cartridge that plays hacked games downloaded onto a memory card – is harming sales for Nintendo and making it the least-profitable console on the market.

 

 

I've got a DS, every single one of my friends has a DS, almost every one of their siblings has a DS, and we all know tons of other people with DS's. None of us have R4's.


 Then I recomend you get one.


No.  I'd rather encourage them to keep making games.


I agree. Down with all illegitamite gamers. SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY YOU LOVE FOOLS!!!



Just kiss the tip.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I'm not going to bother with this until they substantiate their data. Its not even close to realistic so unless they can support their numbers they are completely full of it. In the meantime they are advertising for the R4...how nice of them. Morons.

R4 is old news.
The TTDS is the new hotness :P

@ troll_monster - i recommend you stop using your R4.

Why? I have a Supercard, that's also a module that loads data from a flash-space to the DS and executes it. But I have no pirated games. I use homebrew-software like DSOrganize, hear music with my DS and play some homebrew-games. And I play my DS-games, games I've payed for. I'm angry about such statements that R4 or similar modules are 'pirate-chips'. (By the way: I have a pirate-ship on my DS, everytime I put in Phantom hourglass.) I use such a thing, and I'm not pirating software.

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [GTA6]

R4 resellers at least in the UK sell it with a few DVD's, so bearing in mind 1 DS owner buying 1 R4 means they own 1,750 games.

65 DS owners buy original games on average 3 each totaling 195.

Total ........ 66 DS owners ......... 1,945 games .......... 90% of games are pirated.

I would say the statment is true if the are refering to games users own (90%)and not users (1.5%) as a percentage.



Wii - 3348 5602 9364 2110

Mario Kart - 0474 1321 9262

So the DS has more pirates then the PSP? lmfao
