One has to have an interest in something to bother pirating it. The same interest is required to buy something as well. The most pirated games according to torrents are also the highest selling games.
For online im talking about a smaller sub group which has a greater interest in online play to compliment the local play experience. Having online play doesn't hurt, having no online gameplay does hurt for a reasonable number of people as online gaming becomes more mainstream. This subgroup is also the group which is part of the likely pirate demographic.

Interest=/=Willing to Buy.

People have to have interest before they buy. People without interest don't buy and they don't pirate so the pirates have to have at least a marginal interest in a game before they pirate it.

the equivalence is not an exact match.
You need just a marginal interest to download, however you need a 15£-40£ interest to actually buy.
most pirates probably don't ever see/play over 1/2 of their movie/series/games collections. Heck I don't even have time for the games I buy :x
