Massive Crowds at D/P?

is back.
I was thinking there would be a massive chaotic crowd waiting for D/P at like midnight.
Like:
When Wii & PS3 were released I heard someone actually died
Do you think will happen when you try to get D/P?
Would you wait at midnight? (if you were allowed to)
I'm going to sleep right now so im just going to let this thread grow overnight...
Wow that's a lot of replies for one day.

Nah...Nintendo marketed this mainly for kids, and kids tend not to be that devoted. D/P will sell like hotcakes, but I'll bet it'll be mostly by mothers who walk in and ask for Polkeemon.

Well, I dunno 'bout the guy dying, but, I probably will go to EB Games or Gamestop afterschool since my parents don't like me staying up for a measly game. But if I could sneak out, yes. 8D

If youre curious about the deaths, there's been at least two--one over a PS3 and one over a Wii. Sometime during the day the PS3 came out, a thief was hiding in front of a Best Buy and mugged and shot the first person to come out who was carrying a PS3. As for the Wii, there was a radio contest in which whoever drank the most water before having to go wee, and one of the contestants died from water poison.

Gee, I think I just made waiting for systems sound grim and deadly.

Relax mate, there won't be any massive crowds. There were massive crowds for the Wii and PS3 because they are consoles. Pokemon Diamond & Pearl are merely games for the Nintendo DS Handheld console, thus they won't cause a stir. Sure, the games will generate a great profit, but it will be gradually, not within a day.

Can't Americans have any major console released without people being shot and robbed? In Australia, if we miss out, we don't go killing people, we just wait until the next shipment arrives like civilised people. No, I dn't think there will be line-ups for the release of D/P, but they will be one of the highest selling games in their first day/week/month.

It was because they were consols and because of the Holidays.

I heard about the two people who died. The girl who died from the water was within the last 2 weeks wasnt it?

It wasn't out of frustration that he didn't get a PS3. It's that he knew he wouldn't be able to get it legit and probably to sell it for big money on eBay. I'd suspect he's behind bars right now...though you ARE correct that we Americans are a rather aggressive bunch. We have 30 million people in prison right now.

And nobody got shot over the Wii. One person got poisoned to death; that's all. I forget when it happened, but yeah, it was pretty recent. Wiis continue to sell out as soon as the store re-stocks.

I doubt there will be crowds, but I'm sure it'll sell out quickly.

I plan to get it as soon as humanly possible, though the chances of it being out on the release date where I live are slim.

It wasn't really the water that killed her, but the fact she didn't go to the bathroom. She just let all the bad stuff build up inside her. It's sad that she lost her life over the Wii. I don't think there will be a massive crowd for Diamond and Pearl though, it will be popular though.

Since when has there ever been a large crowd for a single game? It's always been for a game system or a movie. Like I said before, Pokémon games are bought largely by parents who certainly aren't going to camp out to make sure they get one. You and I...we're a rare breed.

From what I could figure out, the woman drank so much water that her sodium concentration levels in her body lowered to lethal levels. She didn't build up "bad stuff" within her...though accepting defeat and going to the bathroom would have prevented it.

well where I live people are a bit ignorant about pokemon and the people who know about it hate but me and some of my friends are a rare breed so I wouldn't wait until midnight its a bit stupid(15 years old) I might it get the next day or on the same day
