*Is* piracy just as big on the DS due to the R4 device?

Probably bigger?  It's easier to buy something off amazon then it is to hack your firmware.

I mean pirating DS games is like pirating MP3s. 

 

I'd never even heard of it.  I searched Amazon and it's only available used or really expensive, apparently.  PSP hacking is free.

Plus, even if this R4 were an equivalent problem as measured by the number of hackers on each system stealing their games, the larger install base of DS leaves more remaining owners who buy their games. 

The article's last point/implication seems weak.

 

Look at it this way yes it has a larger install base, but gamers (techy people) will know about the R4, so most of those will get on. Hence why you see game that SHOULD HAVE sold better not and you see shitty crap sell better to those people who have no techy skills to knwo about the R4 etc..
