Black Ops also sold more than MW2 and was also pirated less!

Meaning that it is possible that some who pirated MW2 enjoyed it and ended up buying Black Ops.

 

As I have always said and will continue to say, "The effects of piracy are incredibly overblown" and gamers need to wake up.

This argument didn't matter at all until PS3 got hacked and to be honest it only adds fuel to the fire about PS3 fans being the worst. They are the only ones getting bent out of shape about piracy while at the same time witnessing that the big pirated consoles sell more software!

You know what's fun to look at in regards to that.

The Dreamcast.

Easiest system to pirate in the world.  Just burn a CD and it... no DRM at all.

Funny thing is, check out the Dreamcasts Tie Ratio, it's very high.  Espiecally considering this was a product that was discontinued well before it's lifecycle was over.

Even though everyone will tell you how much Dreamcast games got pirated.  Dreamcast sold a lot of games.

The PSP has a low tie ratio, why because the hacking allowed the PSP to have a number of functions completely unreleated to playing games.  Meaning people were buying the PSP who wren't interested in PSP games at all, not even from a piracy standpoint.

Isn't that so awesome though, I mean, to throw an entire argument on it's face like that?

 

Piracy isn't the PSPs problem at all and I have said that for a while. Look at Japan, they buy so much software for it that it keeps it alive, even though it is dying in every other market.

PSP's problem has always been mass market appeal.

 

It cost alot for what it does and considering it's functionality, it lacks a touch screen.
