I'm a Sony fanboy and I've never liked God of War.  Not even when it was first released on the PS2.  To me it's pretty garbage, but the reason why the second God of War game on the PSP didn't sell well isn't because people didn't want to play another God of War.  It's because everyone and their grandmother had a CFW PSP.  If  given the chance to pirate, the thieving 75-80% of the gaming community will do so.

I may not have liked it, but it didn't sell as well as it should have thanks to how bad the piracy has got before the release of the game.

No, people just didn't want the game. PSP software sales dwindled because people lost interest in PSP.

PS3, 360, and Wii games are pirated much more than PSP games. Yet they maintain stronger sales than PSP ever had.

Yes, it's true that people didn't want that game on PSP, but it's also true that PSP is one of the most pirated console right now.

I don't know anyone who don't have their PSP pirated.

But PSP is not the most pirated system. Anecdotal evidence you gave isn't convincing me either.

I have a PSP, I think its great, and its a shame it died off like it did. But I don't feel piracy is to blame to software sales plummeting.

My guess is the west has lost interest in dedicated handheld game consoles for core gaming. What has convinced me of this is the poor sales of Vita hardware and core games are doing poorly on the 3DS as well.

No the pSp sales plummeted because it sucked, not becasue of this made up mess of the west has lost interest. Also what core games are doing poorly on 3DS? You probably made it up but watever.
