Pirating doesn't hurt software sales.
It increases hardware sales.
I mean, I know tons of people who bought the PSP specifically because of piracy/hackability to use as a portable emulator.
PS3 seems to have suffered vs 360 in a lot of areas due to the non-piratability of the PS despite Playstation literally being a synonym for game console in a lot of areas that had shitty nintendo distribution in the 8 and 16 bit eras.
