Starting a Following?

Forgive me if I in any way sound a little conceited, but I feel like an apostle for Nintendo. It seems like the more I talk to people, the more they want the Wii, of they want a DS. I really feel like I'm making on some kind of divine word. Example one, this dood I work with loved the Metroid Prime games for Gamecube. However he said their was no way in hell that he would buy Hunters for the DS because it was a gay ass little handheld, which was nowhere near as good as a PSP. Now I never actually showed him anything (gameplay, screenshots, reviews, etc.), I just talked to him about it. Told him about the idea behind the DS the innovation with Hunters. And that was it. Next time I saw him, he had gotten Hunters and had swore off getting a PSP. Since I bought one, 7 people I know have bought a DS simply by me talking about it. Do I have a divine gift? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. All I know is that people need to start giving the Big N a chance, stop making radical assumptions, and remember that video games are about having fun, not graphics.

id like to get a ds, not cuz of your recommendations necessarily, but it helped. i doubt i will tho, im paying to upgrade my computer now. dave you should look into getting a flash cart for it so you can dl roms instead of buying games.

also i think you should be on nintendo's payroll.

Those are both excellent ideas. Maybe I should give Reggie a call...

Forgot to mention, I even got my mom to buy a DS. Now that was weird.

That's pretty damn funny. I got mine reserved at Gamestop and traded in enough useless crap to pay it off entirely. When I did all the math in the end, I'm paying $15 for it. FTW!!!

I just read on the IGN forums that Target and Wal-Mart got in trouble from Nintendo for selling the Lites early. Well not really in trouble, Nintedo just sent them a memo to cease selling them until the 11th.
