I've been seeing countless times lately that Xbox360 games are being released to pirate sites much sooner than PC games are. If you couple this with the point made by several console-only players in that a PC to play the latest games will cost you about $5000 and require frequent upgrading, there must be more people pirating the Xbox version of the game than the PC version.

Ok so I know what you're thinking. It's easier to get a PC game downloaded and playing than it is an Xbox360 game due to the console's copy protection. Bear in mind that these days PC games are also sporting more sofisticated (although not crack-proof) copy protection and it often takes piracy groups weeks just to crack the game protection and announce they've done it. Does the first point made outweigh the above mentioned points on PC cost, leak dates and also crack dates?

Another arguement is that most people have a PC, but not an Xbox360, however how many people have a PC they play the latest games on compared to people with an Xbox360?

Is PC piracy really so far ahead of Xbox360 piracy? I'm not so sure.
