Do emulators work under license
Does Nintendo lose any potential sale?
Does even a relevant percentage of people play original games on the Dolphin? Like...... lets say 0.5% at least?

The emulators themselves don't use any copywritten material.

I definitely bought xenoblade, Last Story, Skywar Sword, Fragile Dreams which I wouldn't have otherwise boughten because the graphics of the wii are so poor.

You also know that anyone with half a brain can pirate on wii. So it's not like because of emulator there's necessarily that much more piracy. However, Since the PC provides a better experience on most games, and is a bit easier (don't have to burn disc) it makes more sense for the pirates to pirate on PC instead of wii.

There's nothing wrong with the emulator, just the people that steal while using it. Just like the people that use wii and pirate. There's nothing wrong with the wii. What you're saying is like saying youtube is wrong because so many people use it to view/post copywritten material. When it's the people abusing it that are at fault.

If the wii's graphics weren't so bad technically in the first place, it wouldn't be possible to emulate. And piracy would exist only on console.

I am just going to go ahead and point out here that you do not need to burn wii games onto blank dvd's anymore for playing images on the console, there are others ways of doing it, very easier ways, if you had say for example isos on any external harddrive which happened to be formatted to fat32 a disk format the wii can read from there might be a way :)
