Has this EVER happened for a redesign? It's bigger than the launch!

Dasmos · « **Reply #1401 on:** March 01, 2006, 06:19:03 PM »

Clannad? That's a stupid name.

RiskyChris · « **Reply #1402 on:** March 01, 2006, 06:23:51 PM »

Oh god that's worse than I predicted (sell out in 1 hour).

Prease lik-sang, you better have nabbed 10k units =(

Dasmos · « **Reply #1403 on:** March 01, 2006, 06:35:18 PM »

That's pretty phenomenal.

Demand is MASSIVE! According to that article they only shipped 80,000 DS Lites nationwide today, WTF?

Don't be a hater, Artimus. I am not too fond of the thought of a red Koopa with a green shell. Those are my 2 most hated colours when together.

I mean it actually hurts and gives headaches Seriously, it's really hard to have on the screen, not being rude.

Wake up to an email from Lik Sang (yay my order shipped!) telling me that I'm paying $30 more and my order *hasn't* shipped (noooo).

Le sigh.

According to IGN, Nintendo is shipping 450,000 DS Lites to Japan this week, and 100,000 standard DS systems. I'm guessing sell-through for the week will be in the range of...550,000 units.

There was a forum member (site owner actually) at EvilAvatar.com who said way back in the begining, before the DS or PSP were even released, that "the DS doesn't have anything, at all, anyone would want" (Yes, he is a heavy PSP fan.) Needless to say i've had fun being able to poke fun at him for that comment. And we still have the launch of Ice Blue and Enamal Navy to weather....

Ian Sane · « **Reply #1411 on:** March 02, 2006, 06:40:47 AM »

You know what these sales mean don't you? We should all buy DS systems and sell them on ebay Japan!

I wonder if that would work. I know there's a market for importing in North America but is there in Japan?

Welcome to the club.

It went up, but I don't even care. I was thinking of canceling but then I saw that damn beautiful blue case and the "Tech lust" kicked back into high gear.

I don't spend much money so I'm not worried about it, but it's a good thing Nintendo doesn't sell cars or helicopters or something.

I second that complaint, I always quickly scroll past Dasmos' posts on account of it.

In fact, I actually remove it using the firefox extention, Remove-it-permantly. Which is normally for use against combating Ad heavy websites. Or the kind that will place large obtrusive ads in the middle of an article

animecyberrat · « **Reply #1415 on:** March 02, 2006, 10:45:50 AM »

so looks like Nintendo still making money, goodnews cuz they now have more cash to fund Revolution.

"In addition to a wide variety of people willing to wait a few hours in line, we noticed girls, elderly couples and businessmen making inquiries about the system's availability."

Look like nintendo getting it's non-gamer

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #1417 on:** March 02, 2006, 12:15:51 PM »

Personal anecdote: I recently went on vacation (!!) In our group there were three DSs and three PSPs. Outside of our group I noticed zero PSPs and probably around five different people with DSs. Every one of those DSs was being played by a young girl (around 8-11 I would estimate). Just thought I'd throw that out there since that's about the same number of girls I've seen playing GBAs in my life (or any portable game systems, actually).

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1418 on:** March 02, 2006, 03:15:12 PM »

Elderly couples?

Businessmen and girls I can see, but the elderly!?

Gotta be the Nintendogs...

Could be the Brain Training games too, don't forget them.

Good call, especially since a virtual dog can't dial 911.

Guitar Smasher · « **Reply #1421 on:** March 02, 2006, 06:49:56 PM »

I don't know. I fear it may be that surgery game.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1422 on:** March 02, 2006, 07:24:29 PM »

That's just a bad idea.

Grandpa will never go in for that triple bypass if he knows what goes on in there.

Requiem · « **Reply #1423 on:** March 04, 2006, 12:09:58 PM »

I don't know, it could be quite the contrary. Maybe not in your example, but people are usually more comfortable about a situation that deals with their body when they know what the hell is going on.
