Piracy is a double edged sword, a system that is easily pirated tends to sell more hardware because some people will buy the system will little intentions of buying games; but at the same time a system that is too easy to steal games on (PSP, Dreamcast) builds a userbase that is entirely focused on stealing games and no one buys games (which eliminates the incentive to develop games for the system).
