I think it is great how difficult the PS3 is to pirate. Sounds dumb, but Sony should tell the competition what they put in their console to make it unhackable.

 

It's a combination of factors really. Kind of like how there was no gamecube mod until several years into the GCs life. There was a way to play copied games before that, but it was complicated. Sony learned their lesson and took away some of the reason people had to mod their consoles by making games region free and allowing users to install linux. In addition to that, a good part of the ps3's library is shared with the x360, meaning that those who are looking to play copied games could just play them on the already hacked 360. It's not like the ps2 where most of best games of the generation were on that console and nowhere else. The tech clearly makes it hard to hack as well... though I just think the motivation isn't what it was with the ps2.

Had the ps3 been as dominant as the ps2 last gen with as many exclusives, there would have been some sort of solution out there for copied games by now. It may have been incredibly complicated though.
