Forums - Gaming - Why does the DS hacking suffer as much as the PSP?

LordTheNightKnight on 29 December 2008

Piracy is irrelevant. The PSP didn't have a true killer app. The DS had Nintendogs and MK DS tearing up the charts well before GTA was supposed to turn the PSP into the handheld king.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

because there are lots of DS gamers are casual gamers and they doesnt know too much about hacking since they are not that tech conscious. for example i got lots of female friends who owns DS but they dont know wat is hacking, they only know to play games u need to buy them.

in the other hand psp owners are normally hardcore gamers, especially guys. hardcore gamers normally will always update themselves with gaming information through media such as internet, and therefore hacking information are so much accesible to them

Hi I'm a DS gamer and I'm Wiitarted! Anyone can 'hack' interest has to be there, percieved value - it's easier to buy a game to some than to get it for free by hacking. Maybe people got the PSP simply because they knew what they wanted and what they wanted had less to do with games?



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Because DS owners buy them as a videogame handheld , the PSP owners buy them as a multimedia device.

HAHA! What a scathing swipe you took there. Bravo.

Sony decided to cater their product to the tech crowd. Nintendo decided to cater their product to the planet Earth. There is your answer.

 

 

Quoted for DAMN TRUTH.

Sony's moto: Our consoles are designed for 18 year olds because everyone wants to be 18.

Nintendo's moto: Our consoles are designed for everyone because we realize not everyone is 18 and male.

no joke the DS is just to easy to pirate, I play pirated DS games on my computer,it's to save money and all my friends bought a DS but have never bought a ds game, they just bought a chip the size of a ds game and then download all the games they want on the cartige. I don't know about the psp.
