Nintendo Is So Not Screwing Around With 3DS Piracy
#piracy The 3DS was apparently already cracked within 24 hours of release, and it's now supposedly running piracy devices. Isn't Nintendo going to do anything? You betcha. More »

They only worry about that because it legitimizes the use of homebrew devices. Nintendo needs to realize that today is not like it was in NES days. Compare Nintendo's DSiWare Shop to Apple's App Store. Apple encourages anyone to make apps/games with cheap dev tools. Nintendo charges like 10 grand for a dev kit, if you are deemed worthy enough to buy one. Apple doesn't really care about piracy. Nintendo goes to great lengths to thwart piracy, even if it harms those who are just want to dabble in game development.
Guess who is going to lead the next generation of mobile gaming.
