it's worth doing, but it's not significant for any reason other than making a few bucks on hardware and hopefully building a brand for the future if piracy can be defeated.

so as of 2009 census

85,789,573 people is not significant?

as for Piracy

digital download's

Blu-Ray are good anti piracy measure's already

no it doesn't matter, it will have no significant impact this gen at all.  Population is meaningless, there is only hope for the future. 
Do you have any idea how much a PS3 costs for someone in Malaysia or Thailand?  You could have enough money to pay for food and a place to live for half a year or buy a ps3.  Don't even get me started on games. 

in malaysia an offical price of the PS3 is at RM1299 thats around US$381. but in some places in Malaysia you can get it of RM 1100 thats around US$324. as for games it depends on where you look. There is this local forum called "LOW YAT" where one goes to do their trades example a R1 new game will cost around RM195-RM200 where as the a R3 would b cheaper around RM 175 or so. as for second hand it will cheaper depending on how rare the game is and its region it can go as low as RM 50 for R3 and RM70 for R1. piracy in the south east asia is at a repent stage a 360 game can cost up to RM15-RM20. a pirated PS2 can go for RM5-RM10 depending on how many discs.
