From OzModChips FAQ:

Q. Can Sony block this with firmware updates?

A. Probably. The have have the USb dongle firmware upgradable, but you can never predict the future. This is made to work with 3.41. If you happen to download an install an update which is higher then this then it is your doing. We will not accept stock back as "faulty" if you have upgraded your firmware

So all Sony would need do is require new games to run with a new firmware (and can easily bundle it on the disc for offline people). 

 

It wouldn't stop old games from being pirated but any new ones could be prevented.

they could actually make the firmware available on the old ones now selling too

Even more vicious : Next Sony's firmware could make the console refuse to start if there's a usb peripheral plugged in...

Bye Bye PSJailbreak.... 

You could only plug a peripheral when the console has booted
