Exactly.

It may not show right now, but I'm perfectly sure that an un-hacked PS3 is helping software sales in the long run.

And I hope no consoles get hacked in the next gen.

Me too, just so eveyone can finally learn that piracy has nothing to with software sales.  People who pirate either wouldn't have bought the game in the first place or they would have bought used.  The only people who will make more money if piracy comes to an end are Gamestop and its ilk.

But that's a mith.

I am a pirate myself, and all my friends are pirates, so I no how pirates think and act.

I havent bothered to mod my X360 yet, therefor i buy some X360 games. For PC it's another story (i only buy some PC games for CD keys).

So if for some reason Id mod my X360, I would hardly buy any games anymore.

This is the sad truth. Piracy severly hurts game sales. Not much to debate IMO.
