The DS sold 100 million times. How many DS users do you think are pira

[Isaiah]

Everyone in my school has an R4, but I have a Cyclo

 

[evilishan]

Everyone I know has an R4 or a flashcard of sorts. So in my world it's about 90%-100%.
But I put down 20%-30% cause I bet there are communities who don't even know what an R4 is.

 

[Skyline969]

I'm gonna have to say 11-19% because I'm the only person I know with a pirate card for my DS. However, if they've banned the R4 in Japan, it's obviously popular and is used a lot.

 

[UnFallen]

If you look at the right places it could be 50~60!!! OMG!!!
but it's usually about 15~16???

 

[wchill]

If you look on Craigslist, you'd think at least 40% are pirates actually.

 

[Veho]

I'll say 11-19% overall. But this has nothing to do with the number of consoles sold, because there are people who own two or three of them (Phat, Lite, Limited Super Special Awesome Edition Lite, DSi), so the real number of DS owners is, I'd say, 60-70% of the total number sold, maybe.

It's pretty hard for me say, since my country is infested with annoying PSP fanboys. I mean, I'm Asian, but all of them pirate PSP games. Freaks. If I were to judge, I would say 15% or so since there is a large amount of people on GBAtemp. But if it was just me, I would say 1% since I know about 3 other people with flashcarts here. Two have R4 (of course) and another has an EDGE (dunno where he got that)

Fanboys can't complain about other fanboys. Rule of gaming.

What if I am a fanboy of both companies?

I used to be a PSP fanboy. Then I realised I was one of those 'unbiased' fanboys. So a better term for those annoying fanboys would be "biased against Nintendo PSP fanboy because they think PSP has better GFX"



Back to topic
42% for me because there are pirates out there... only that they don't visit GBAtemp or any other sites like this.

Post wasn't directed at you, post was directed and somebody who is an incredibly biased DS/KH/FF fanboy.

If I was talking to you, I would have quoted one of your posts.

Also, they "think" the PSP has better "GFX"? If by "GFX", you mean graphics capability, then yes the PSP does have a higher graphics capability than the DS, I don't see why they would need to "think" that when it's already a fact.

Edit: You know what? I wish they hadn't imposed a limit on signature size, because I really need to make a quote gallery for idiots like you.

i think 40% cuz sometime or another somebody would search for free ds games they would find roms and then would search how to put em on the ds what comes up is















R4 MADNESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Law]

I chose 60 to 69%, purely because I've seen 8 year olds on this forum asking for help on how to set up their R4s.

Seriously though, what the god damned fuck?

Yes but the forum has 150,000 registered members (not all of whom are active, but let's simplify this), which is still insignificant compared to the 100 million DS consoles sold. Yes, flashcards are too cheap and simple, piracy is "rampant", but it's still just a little number compared to the people who don't know or even care for piracy, and actually buy games. And Nintendo knew this when they switched to "casual gaming". Sure, there's a lot of mainstream titles and gamers, but the majority of their profits are from the IMAGINE games and the over 9000 versions of Sudoku.

We're biased because we hang on a flashcard discussion forum, so everyone we see pirates games. But those 8-year-olds are an exception, not a rule.

Regardless, I think Nintendo has already made enough money to survive for, you know, like the next 1,000 years. And I think they left the Wii so easily hackable and the DS so easy to pirate games because they knew the millions upon millions of casual gamers won't know how to hack a Wii (despite how easy it is) or where to buy a flashcart or even how to pirate games (what's a torrent?)

Also, just realized my post count went above 300. Is my penis bigger now?

 

[Veho]

Is my penis bigger now?

No.


Also, your post agrees exactly with what I said in the post you quoted, yet you start your post with "regardless". I am confus.

Regardless of whoever is right, Nintendo still have enough money to buy a large country.

But seriously in a lot of countries in Asia apparently flashcards are even bundled with new store bought DS'

 

[rockstar99]

yeah when i went to phill they were being sold crazy in most shops i remember some mall i think it was called we mall or somthing and it had r4s dstts everything(luck country doesnt need a credit card for flashcarts

)

 

[Eon-Rider]

I actually voted for 60-69% based on the simple fact that everyone I know who had a DS owns a flashcart. >.
