As I said last time this came up for discussion, it really only concerns Japan, and I honestly don't think they're going to be capable of fully banning all import, flash carts will still be available for purchase.

They are now targeting other companies in other countries.

it's a very tough situation for everyone.-if they continue to sell the pirate machine, then square, taito, etc... and all everyone else that develops game for consoles would lose sales-if they don't sell the pirate machine then it somewhat hurts indie developers or those homebrew developers [whatever name they like to be called] since it'll be more costly to obtain the developers kit-then there is the arguement that they do have the right to sell the pirate machine but the intentions are those of the people not the retailers and such [like a knife, someone stabs someone you're not going to ban the sales of knives]-if sales of the pirate machine do continue, other alternate drms become developed by microsoft, sony, etc.... and the results for comsumers maybe worse then it is right now. [look at pc for instance].
