How can you honestly believe that piracy does not hurt. If everyone felt the way you do, nobody would buy games. Many console games, at $60.00 a pop, only last around 10-12 hours. You pay around $10.00 to see a 2 hr. movie. Paying $4.00 an hour for entertainment is not bad.
But back to the piracy issue....
Why do you think software sales are so bad for the PSP? There are many great games, and many of the new releases are coming in $29.99, the same price as DS software. But DS software sells. The problem is that most DS users are legitimate consumers that buy software. Many people, such as yourself, that have bought the PSP did so because of emulation and the ability to download games. And these consumers are not buying software. I'm sure Sony is glad that you bought the system, but by not buying any software you are helping to deter companies from making new games for the system. I think alot of this comes with the demographic unfortunatley. The PSP is geared to the late teen and 20ish crowd, most of whom are very tech savy. And alot of this demographic have the no how to and believe it is acceptable to download content for free, whether it be music, movies, or games.
I'm just hoping alot of the new, increase PSP sales are to legitimate consumers that plan to purchase software. Only by selling software will the system continue to thrive.
