No, there's still the Wii.
It took me 5 minutes to get that. Then I was on the ground, laughing my head off.Cortheya said:
Neither can I, I've never been so offended by playing a game because Brain Training has a digital doctor insulting my intelligence. How about blaming yourself for me not playing your game much, instead of blaming it on my "lazy brain".Mazty said:
Besides, I like my DS games like I like Designer Toys, quirky and fun. There are plenty of awesome hardcore games for it, but Ninja Town has shurikened my heart with its sugary bright colourful fun-ness.
The Wii is fucking boring as hell. They don't need to kill my dog.Portal Maniac said:

I have to give it to you, that is hilarious.Cortheya said:
Anyways, the PSP is much easier to pirate games on. You dont even need any extra equipment, just more memory on the mem stick. Although, Sony doesnt seem to be doing very well, but then again, who is?
Piracy didn't kill PC's yet. It didn't kill the PSP, and the original xbox had something similar, and that didn't kill it. Thanks to Halo I suppose.
Yeah, they're only bringing in a new market of young and old gamers.Portal Maniac said:
Seriously, hate them all you want, but we need nintendo. Sony and Microsoft aren't exactly catering to the younger generation; we need a constant stream of new gamers coming into the market, or it eventually will stagnate and die.
I mean, honestly, can you see video gaming still being a major part of your life in your late 20's and early 30's?
Because right now, they're just on the brink of bankruptcy. I'm tired of defending them from people like you and the guy who posted after you. The Wii has some great games on it, and I've used my Wii more than my 360. I like both consoles, but I hate people who say "the Wii sux. It no has shooty-game for me to shoot." Expand your horizons. Try a game that's below an M rating. I love things like Boom Blox, but you'd look at it and say it's crap.Portal Maniac said:
Edit: Oh, and what the guy above me said.
I don't believe you can actually find any objective evidence to back your claim. Piracy might not yet have destroyed a major company, and I'm equally certain that tracking the true extent of such a nebulous problem is impossible, but I can assume with fair certainty without any evidence that the simple fact that someone who gets a game for free respresents a potential (i.e. non zero chance) loss in income of some kind for that very game is, quite naturally considered harmful to a business.TheNecroswanson said:
The backlash against the honest consumer of course is just one side effect of the problem, and to an extent this iron fisted control attempt (that seems ineffective) also appears to be harming gaming on at least one place based entirely on anectotal evidence (i.e. balogna). If the anti-piracy measures are causing consumers to turn away from games from a given publisher or on a given platform, and those measures are taken as a result of piracy, we find by the transitive property (math rules work in real life right?) that piracy is once again at fault.
Square Enix initially defeated the flash cart owners when Chrono Trigger came out, but I've heard that a cracked version exists. Still, clever move on their part to make it a bit more difficult to pirate the game. Quite a few ROM dumps of the older (nonworking) version are out there, enough to convince a few folks who might've pirated it to buy it.

No way it's going to cause Nintendo to go under. Although, it's probably not intelligent to inform people about it if you don't want Nintendo to die.
And if you do, I feel sorry for you.
