PS3 finally hacked. Good or bad for the gamers?

[Jdevil3]

In my opinion this is veeery bad for both the gamers and the gaming industry.

We will probably see a decrease in software sales... and the little ammount of third parties that were going to make PS3 exclusives will probably want to go multiplatform and not use the PS3 capabilities to its fullest because of low software sales :(

A lot of people I know around here that have a PS3 are now thinking of modding it to play free games >_> and a lot of them are saying stuff like "what am I going to do with the 360 I bought a few months ago now?" or "If I knew this was going to happen I wouldn't have bought a 360". It kind of sucks because it's not only those who also bought a 360, but those who only have a PS3 and were getting used to buying legitimate copies of the games are now thinking of doing this :S. This means a loss for the gaming companies :S

I also think the PS3 will be more affected than the 360 by piracy because the 360's strongest market is the US... where people are pretty used to buying legitimate games... but the PS3's strongest market is Others :S where they're more used to pirating stuff :S

I hope I'm wrong...
