I think piracy does improve game sales as well. It's a difficult idea ot think about, but for example:
I have been more and more inclined recently to buy a wii due to its ability to play downloaded games. That being said, there are many games that I would like to play online like MK that I would be forced to buy in order to experience to my satisfaction.
Having the console would force me to buy an extra controller and Motion+ and those games, that I never would have bought if I didn't have the system.
