| bugrimmar said: i wonder about the strange effect of piracy on console sales, as it seems that if a machine's software is heavily pirated, it tends to get a dramatic boost in hardware sales. the playstation 1 and 2's format made it really easy for people to mass produce their software, and it seems the hardware was gobbled up even despite that fact. it looks to me that piracy actually pushed harware sales. in contrast, the playstation 3 isn't realistically a haven for piracy and its having a hard time penetrating the market. could the lack of pirated software be the cause?
or am i just being delusional in thinking that piracy can actually be a good thing.. |
This is not a site where you will get an ubiased discussion. You would look for people who are philisophical business and theory. Most who do not question will only answer authority answers. The flip side are self justified opinions.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
