pirating a psp is a much more difficult task then pirating a ds. With that said why is piracy on the psp so much more extensive and detrimental than on the ds? |
The PSP is considered easier because all you need to pirate games on the PSP can be inexpensively bought at any store that sells the system ... The DS is as easy to pirate but (from my understanding) you have to buy a micro-sd adapter card from a questionable website.

I don't think that's really the case. Pirating the PSP involves downloading fimware consistently and creating a hybrid contraption out of a Pro Duo and a PSP battery. You can risk bricking your PSP if unsuccessful. Pirating the DS is a matte of purchasing a card that plugs into either of the two slots and dag and drop games into it's root file. I don't think PSP games are piated more oftenly than DS games. I think the DS just reaches into many more demographics that don't typically pirate, which keeps it's sales healthy. Notice how the games that reach farthest from technophiles in terms of interest also happen to be some of the best selling. The problem with the PSP is, it was marketed directly to the kinds of people that are knowledgable enough to pirate the games, while the DS marketed to those same people, plus countless other age groups.
To those that condemn video game piracy but don't have a problem pirating other industies, please quit being hypocrites. There is no right industry to pirate or wrong one. It should be either pirating itself is right or wrong.

Actually, question isn't how they pirate, but what they pirate. From my own observations, it seems that the thing that's driving PSP sales in Nintendo games, since it seems that people pirate NES and SNES for PSP and play them with emulator. Pirating a PSP game isn't that easy as pirating an old game from Nintendo system. This is just my own observation, so it may not be the in larger scale.
And, yes, i agree about the technophile part.

Actually the PSP game and emulator would be roughly the same process if the roms were preloaded onto the emulator otherwise the emulator would be more difficult. The PSP game should never be more difficult to accomplish. It's just a matter of making sure you keep up with firmware updates, but that is a given even with legitimate PSP games.
