I never said the PSP sold more than anything, I'm saying that in Third World countries, the PSP is most likely bought to be hacked and because Sony release their consoles to a larger variety of countries than both Nintendo and Microsoft, piracy effects them more.
I'm not saying the PSP is more "hardcore" in terms of games for the system, I'm saying that the same people who are willing to pay the high price for the PSP and know how to take advantage of the system are most likely 13 to 25 year old gamers that have a basic knowledge of how to do these things.
I don't get your second point, people with the knowledge of how to mod and pirate games for a PSP aren't going to be your average buyer.
They take advantage of the system by allowing you to play pirated games, I'm pretty sure Sony ( or any other company) doesn't want that to happen.
Sony blamed it on piracy and I believed them because I've seen it happen so many times in Australia. From my experience, the PSP is bought by males between the age of 13 and 25, every single person I've seen that has bought a PSP has it modded straight away, most of them bought the PSP with the intention of modding the system. They didn't do it because the PSP had a lackluster library, they did it because they can get games for free and it was extremely easy. The DS, Wii and PS2 have been very lucky that they have reached out to a different audience, I doubt 5 to 12 year olds would have any idea what piracy is, the same could apply to the older markets that Nintendo has captured. Piracy still exists on those systems, but they still have millions of people that are willing to buy games legally.

Where in the world do they sell PSP that don't have other consoles? And how many units.
Again, you're buying into Sony's marketing by calling the DS a kiddy console. It's called truth repitition. You know, repeat it enough and it becomes the truth, regardless of its truthiness.
I won't tell you that the DS has a large 25 userbase, otherwise, you'll start calling us casuals, too.

I don't buy into anyone's marketing, Sony doesn't market their failure. They offered a reason and it's one I agree with. I also never said the DS was a kiddy console, I said that it's casual userbase is so large that even if a few people mod the console, Nintendo can still rely on a huge amount of people to purchase software because they aren't involved in piracy. Sony being a massive electronics company, distributes their console to more countries than their competitors, it also doesn't help that most of their expansion is to Third World countries, places that are rampant with piracy.
Your getting riled up and putting words in my mouth. That's a sign of immaturity and of a person that lacks reason. You don't have to agree with me, but you also don't have to imply that I'm brainwashed and that I have some sort of bias.
