"All everyone talks about is their 'girlfriends.' I see them all standing in the shadows looking serious, and I go and see what's up and they're all bragging about their girlfriends -- like, 'Oh, she changed her hairstyle for me' and so on. I'm not gonna give his name, but there's one guy who hasn't had a girlfriend for decades and talking about his virtual friend makes him so incredibly happy. You pretty much never see Konami games becoming popular among the employees of Konami themselves. I think Love Plus is the first one. You see people sneaking in time with it in the bathrooms and so on; I guess they don't want to get caught playing it at their desks." - Hideo Kojima
Even better is this blurb from Kojima, which concerns a story about LovePlus that Suda51 told him...
"I was talking with Goichi Suda earlier, and told me about this guy he saw who went to a movie theater by himself but bought two tickets. Suda was curious, so he went in with him and saw him take his DS out of his backpack, open up the case and place it in the seat next to him. He had his 'girlfriend' on the screen!"

As if their birth rate wasn't low enough, now it's going to plummet into oblivion.
Suda's story though, wow, I mean, sure bring your DS if you have to, but why buy a ticket for it? Lol, I could imagine someone not seeing the DS and sitting on it.
Suda 51, still awesome.
Congratulations everyone, you're making fun of men with worse lives than you. You should be proud of yourselves.
:\
do we take the pictures on a date? i dunno bout u, but i don't.
... But do they treat said pixels like real girls, holding birthday parties and buying movie tickets for them, and refuse to go out with real women ever again?
Poor guys, they should masturbate a lot.
I can imagine some of them going to a motel with their DS...
This is what I was thinking.
Sure the taking the digital girlfriend to a movie is kinda odd, let them do what they want. This is no different than how hardcore for Nintendo (or anyone for a company or brand, but hardcore Nintendo fans stick out in my mind) some people can be on here (almost as scary if you ask me).
*goes to play Clannad*
I dont think that a lot of women would like to be with a man that takes his DS on a date. I just asked my Girlfriend and some other friends (women) their opinion, they think its pathetic and that they wont date a guy like that.
afaik the game is not a great success . That is to say if it was a nintendo title it would be the headlines of many website : " colossal failure for nintendo in japan"
Yea, I was thinking about that Futurama episode, too.
Perdedor
and that translates to Loser..
This is what japanese men say...
My (2D) girlfriend is Aika-san. She lets me meet her whenever I want and greets me with a smile if I forget a date - and she does not cost money. Thats all I need.
-Make reality more interesting than games please.
-To be honest, I don't want a (real) woman.
-The world in the monitor is reality. The world we live in is just imaginary.

Can I be the minister?
"By the power invested in me by all things that are kinda creepy in Japan, I here by dub the man and virtual wife. You may touch the screen."
You're joking but I'm so seeing that happening *shiver*
