Awesome, like 80% of the people on line in those pics look like adults...but I guess that's just how they look in Japan. Or maybe a lot of adults in Japan play, probably the latter. Looks like a lot of people which is good news for the sales and Nintendo, even with the delay.

It's also very cold and rainy and they're still waiting in lines.

Somehow I don't think you'd really see kids on a cold wet night in Tokyo...

Unless of course they havent gotten a normal DS yet. But still. These people must not have lives.

Yeah. No idiots in Japan saying things like "Hasn't the PSP basically eliminated Nintendo by now? God, why don't they just die?"

(near-actual quote from someone I talked to yesterday)

Actually, when I was there I noticed something most Western otakus dont realize...There are many, many, many reg. Japanese people of all ages that dont care a flip about games, technology, anime, j-pop, etc.

well, of course there are non-gamers. japan has more of a population than the numbers of DS sales. but that percentage of the population that ARE gamers are really into it, not just the "casuals" that American gamers hate so much.

Where I live, alot of the gamers are casual. Except for the city that is next to mine, which is about 80% asian.
