This whole thread is ridiculous.
Low PSP software sales have nothing to do with "piracy" as it simply doesn't have anywhere near the effect on sales as the industry want you to believe. If it did, then all of the major record labels and Hollywood studios would have gone out of business years ago as it's been possible to download an artist's entire discography or a truckload of DVD's for a long time now. I could give a laundry list of reasons for the PSP's low software sales, but the biggest reason is that Sony didn't focus enough on the games and really failed to push it as a portable gaming device and instead pushed the multimedia features more than what was necessary. This effectively turned it into a PMP that also happened to play games.
Also, the PSP is neither dead nor dying. The hardware sales speak enough for that.
Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3
