@VincentGrey: I get you. Guilty of the same thing myself, a lot of the time.

@VincentGrey: Not to use you as a victim, but I just find it very modern that you are complaining about four minutes.

@Ryodestined: Closest I can think of would be the Fangirl or Scene girl type. See them hanging around college a bit, or at the dance floor at conventions.

@icarus212001: Please prove me wrong, then.

@Luke Plunkett: Not that I assumed the editors here lived in dark dungeons with no sunlight, but it's nice to know someone else had a "Hey, wait just a sec..." moment.

I agree that mainstream piracy is a problem with the DS, but did they not consider the severe fragmentation in the market with three different retail units and a fourth already announced, coupled with very few first party titles or third party AAAs?

@ShaggE: Restarreded: This is the first and last pun on Kotaku I will ever laugh at.

@STiger: They added this in later and it's only optional. Again, having a list of things you have purchased does not count as mandatory authentication/validation. Purchases are still tied to your Wii, not your Club Nintendo account.

@BaconXBits: They haven't. There are DSi enhanced DS games that have been ripped, but DSiWare has not been cracked.

@Kotakufan777: Linking it to your Nintendo account on their website doesn't count, this is just a list and is not useful for authentication, it is not reliable and not enforced.

I am probably infamous (unfamous?) for defending Nintendo, so while I want to damn them for this, I will take the chance to explain it out a bit for people unfamiliar with their authentication technology.

@Boibi: I just wish people in the scene were more upfront about their beliefs and intentions. They aren't being honest with themselves.

@Leanid: For whatever reason, when it comes to emulators, there's a double standard. Chipping your wii? Unacceptable. Playing it on Dolphin? A-OK. Hacking your wii? Unforgivable. Hacking your wii to run an SNES emulator? Many blessings.

@Erwin: For having a post approximately five times more interesting to read than yours.

@AchromaticMagus: Innocent Life was... probably the worst Harvest Moon game out there.

@scrapking: I kind of wonder what PSP could do to regain any market share. I mean, the PSP was a great machine, just no games for it. And because games never sell, no one ever makes any games.

I saw this over on engadget, and the chart still bothers me: The assumption that Nintendo or Sony are losing sales isn't supported by this graph; all that is supported is that iPhone revenue is increasing with relation to Sony and Nintendo revenue ... Uhm, basically:

@Mister Jack: Now available in Diet Jack!: I feel partly responsible for defending the DSi for vehemently.

@vid3oman64: I know how you feel. I earned mine a while back by explaining Nintendo's business model of "phasing in" new technology, and that the DS2 would eventually supersede the DS with more powerful games, in the face of wailing screams.

@thewafflecult: Yes, this. I can't help but feel that,
