Which, unless those PSPs were sold at a loss... again is helping the industry.   Some people who pirate 100% are hurting the industry sure, but that's a very small amount in comparison to most pirates who seem to be of the "I pirate some stuff and buy other" variety... and even then of the 100% pirate... most of them appear to be of the "couldn't afford it anyway" group.  In which case, nothing is being hurt really, and if anything it's maintaining that interest until they one day do have money.

What about all those millions and millions of people who pirate games, MP3s and movies just to spend their money on other things?

Typical example being the PC gamer who never buys a PC game but spends all that money on hardware instead (I am that guy).

Status quo for world economy perhaps, but it's money taken away from game developers.
