I think piracy probably does have an overall negative effect on games sales, but nowhere near as significant as the manufacturers would have you believe. The average gamer will still spend as much money as they have spare on the big titles since we love to have the originals of the best games. I think it most likely hurts the mediocre and bad games much more since you're not likely to shed out your hard-earned cash on something that's not so good when you can just get a copy.
