[QUOTE="DaniPoo, post: 10383368, member: 320615"] I never said that only kids bought the DS, I said that it was mainly marketed for kids, and I think the vast majority of DS were owned by children. But I am fully aware of how massive the flashcard market was for the DS. But we're talking a console right now that sold 154.02 million units. even if only 5% used flashcards that would be +7 million flashcards sold. Imagine then how much money the flashcard industry has made. Not to mention how much money was lost to piracy if each flashcard owner pirated multiple games. 7 million x (the cost of games) I'm not going to lie, I don't have the exact numbers so just look at that as a potentially possible figure. But the fact that you even admit that the flashcard industry was enormous but refuse to admit the problem in it is kind of funny. It's absolutely pointless trying to defend piracy and trying to paint it in the light of being a good thing. Even if the console hardware sells well the console can still be damaged by poor game sales and discouraged game developers. Historically game developers have complained about piracy and even tried implementing their own anti-piracy measures. So it's not only hurting Nintendo but game studios as well. Piracy IS illegal, so no matter what argument you may throw at me, the law is on my side. (unless you live in Russia I guess, but that's probably just a temporary thing) [/QUOTE]
