The least profitable? Do you really think the kids uploading games make a profit? Also, chip manufacturers may make a profit, but it's highly doubtfull they make more on the Wii right now then the 360. With all the casual gamers on the Wii, the piracy levels are way lower in my opinion. A quick check on number of downloads on a Wii/360 confirmed my thought btw. Comparing it to apple/windows is completely pointless. The market shares of all three consoles are signifcantly closer to eachother then those two are.
Blu ray is also a non argument as discussed before. It's also worth it to note that games downloaded from the PS store have not been hacked aswell. |
Maybe in NA & EU there isn't much in the way of profit, but in many Asian countries shops openly sell pirated software, it's big business. Anyway, from what I see in shops it goes: PS2 >>>>>>>>360>>>>>>Wii. I would say Wii is the least profitable, probably due to it's demographic. Having a lot of it's biggest titles come with peripherals doesn't help piracy either.
