Piracy is killing Consoles Not PC's

Face it, it's the piracy that's huring Console gaming the most, not the PC.

Yet piracy is really rampant on the Console. It's really easy to download games via torrent sites and obviously the last thing the publishers and the devs want to see is their million dollar games getting sucked down by the pirates.

Do you know how easy it is to get games for consoles illegally? You see on the console there is no CD key no install time just download copy and play. While you may need to install some illegal software to make this work guess what its easy to do.

If you look in the right places you can see the piracy is CRAZY on the consoles not just the PC And that includes the Handhelds nintendo DS/3DS and the PSP

piracy is just as bad on consoles as it is on PC and thats all there is to it.

Usually they're grouped together when all those comparison charts are made.

This is quite possibly the most desperate attempt at a thread I have ever seen. I mean, really, something to blatantly false.

A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or modified computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer.

I would argue that Handheld Consoles are more consoles than Home-based Consoles (which are now considered multi-media machines by Sony and Microsoft).

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]I would argue that's false. And PSP/DS/3Ds aren't consoles they are handhelds.

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Well then this will give you a headache.... total 'video games' sales include PCs, consoles, handhelds, etc.KC_Hokie

Whatever. I could care less.

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"] okay? Video games are video games regardless of platform.

The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions, or arcade machines, which are designed for businesses that buy them and then charge others to play.

A handheld game console is a lightweight, portable electronic device with a built-in screen, game controls and speakers.Handheld game consoles are run on machines of small size allowing people to carry them and play them at any time or place. Unlike video game consoles, the controls, screen and speakers are all part of a single unit.

You provide no proof, and yet expect people to believe you :lol:

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]I just find it laughable people want to group handhelds and consoles in one group.

Whatever. I could care less.

Look, I don't really care. Grouping them together obviously does something for you. So let's just go with it.

Piracy's not killing anything

Can't believe so many fell for such an obvious troll thread.

Repetitive games and stale hardware is what's killing consoles.

No. They are clearly two different items.

The definistion of a computer from dictionary.com is as follows :

"An electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the reults of these operations."

Under that definition would not all console/handhelds be clarified as computers using the logic of a vague definition as clasification?

Used game sales are hurting consoles more than piracy

Heh, nice try though.
