Yes because PC gaming is the only market that has issues with software piracy... quit complaining, it will only get worse on consoles and handhelds. And Nintendo announcing that the 3DS is unhackable instantly makes the 3DS a target to hack first next handheld generation. PC has been around longer so of course piracy is higher.

Really? they called it "unhackable"??? don't they ever learn?

I still remember when everyone (including Atari Tengen) tried to hack the 10NES lockout chip, and when they discovered the voltage spike, the market flooded with pirate cartridges... 

A little side note on Tengen, they broke that lockout chip by going to the patent office and got Nintendo's patent on it to see how it works and then they reverse engineered it from that.  So they cheated to hack it.  Wonder if they didn't get those docs from the patent office if they would have broken the security.
