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. |
This is kind of off topic, but what do you think about wii games that sell more than the system does in EMEAA? Do you think people are just buying a bunch of used systems now? But they are buying the games new...

Well, I know I have a lot more games than I do systems and I don't have to buy one every time I get a new game! I haven't bought a new system in 3 years but I have bought over 100 games. I does go to show that piracy isn't the big issue though if the games are still selling so well.
