90 per cent of North American's playing illegally

[fook123]

Im north american and I dont know anybody with any type of flash cart, and I use a games n music, I couldnt play illegally with it if I tried.

Amoungst my friends the serious DS players actually buy their games, and they buy good numbers of games. The causal players use flash carts, and they hardly ever complete a game.

I call bull$#@! on this one. I want to know where they got their figures, what questions were asked, which demographic was interviewed and how large a sample was taken.

This sounds an awful lot like the RIAA tactic of pulling stats out of their asses like the "All college students have pirated or will pirate music" quote.

HAHAHA 90% play illegal games? If that was the case, stores wouldnt be stocking games or selling them. If it was 90%, you think Nintendo would have done something about the hardware or software?

Whoever actually believes that 90% of North Americans play illegally should be shot and suspended from this board (JK)

Quoted for truth - nintendo might be run by some children (who are raking in the cash) but they're not stupid. what gets me, though, is nintendo don't update the firmware for the ds - unlike sony. i'd have likedto see some new updates, like - i dunno... a calculator?

Apparently this was never said by anyone... complete bullshitting by the paper.
