90% of American DS users are PIRATES!

[enarky]

There must be even more where that number came from...

Seriously though, Nintendo themselves should have some pretty accurate numbers through WiFi statistics. I'd be highly surprised, even disappointed, if they didn't check for pirate cards, I mean, it's really trivial.

90% ...riiiiight. Someone probably purposely typo'd and rolled with an extra 0 tossed in there just because it would look more impressive and get a reaction.

I can't think of nearly any sentence in that small piece actually having something to do with reality. Adding a $50 chip into you system, downloading games straight to your DS, overriding copyright lockout chips. Shit man Rick James said it best: Cocaine, it's one hell of a drug.

There is a rumor floating around gamefaqs that states future Nintendo DS models will make the R4 obsolete.

Impossible, at least without making all the present games obsolete too.

Yeah, I thought they were lying, and I was right. I mean, come on, millions and millions of R4 users? I'm sure half of the people don't even know what that IS.

I would say that 5% of DS users play pirated DS games, especially in America.

However this number will rise is people like the New York Times keep doing articles about this dire threat.
