Piracy doesn't make as much of a difference as some people seem to believe. Part of the reason PSP software sales are so low is because people buy it primarily as a media player. Hardly any adults play handhelds outside of Japan, and kids tend to favour the DS.
Both the Wii and Xbox are widely pirated but it hasn't drastically affected sales. The PS3 is even less likely to be a victim of piracy as the size of games on a blu-ray disc is so much larger. Coupled with the fact that it auto-updates when you go online, I don't see piracy being a massive problem.
