Considering the fact that you can use an R4 to play any kind of illegally downloaded ROM file, it’s a surprise that it took this long to get any attention. Another interesting bit of information is that these flash carts don’t really affect the “causual” market, but rather the “hardcore” market instead.

It is titles that appeal to traditional, hardcore gamers – those consumers who are also more tech-savvy – that are suffering a decline in sales.

While I disagree that these devices are the singular source for all the gaming problems in the world today, I can’t help but think about a 7 year old girl I seen on the subway with a Supercard Lite. I don’t suppose she is testing out her homebrew do you?
