ELSPA: We never said 90% of DS owners are using R4s

ELSPA has said that a recent story that claimed 90% DS owners in North America were playing pirate games with the R4 contains false quotes. ELSPA manager John Hillier was quoted as saying "In America, it's thought 90 per cent of Nintendo DS users are playing pirated games because of R4s." However ELSPA have said they would never comment on issues outside of the UK and that the quotes originate from a website in Singapore. They also stated that Nintendo have said the facts are completely spurious.

"ELSPA would certainly never presume to comment about America or anywhere else outside of the UK," added the spokesperson.

The report, said ELSPA, is a hatchet job consisting of facts from an article from Singapore, false quotes and a genuine conversation with Hillier on the availability of the R4 cartridge in the UK.

"The quotes from The Sunday Post were ascribed to his name from another article which originates from a website in Singapore. This, it appears, is where The Sunday Post first found out about the supposed R4 situation and for some reason unknown to John have quoted him on what this article said."

The spokesperson also stated that Nintendo views the reported facts in The Sunday Post article as completely false.

"As far as Nintendo are concerned, the facts are completely spurious."
