79 millions sales with not so good software sales cause of piracy....

The real irony is that Sony set the PSP up so piracy didn't hurt them in the least. The PSP had proprietary memory, so even if you illegally downloaded the game, you still had to buy a Sony memory card. Sony memory cards sell between three and four times more than SD cards.
Make no mistake: Sony made a killing on the PSP, piracy or not. Developers got the shaft in a big way, though. This is probably one of the peripheral reasons developers don't want to hop ond the Vita: it was hacked in Japan before it was even released in North America, so supporting the system is basically throwing their game out into the wild for free.

Nah. I got a PSP and the memory format is the Memory Stick Pro Duo. Lots of companies made 'em because cameras support it. I have a couple of Sandisk Memory Sticks that I used to use. Vita on the other hand--that memory card isn't designed to be used for shit except the Vita.

Not exactly true. Yes, other companies make them, but they all pay licenses to Sony to make them because all sorts of memory stick lines are owned by Sony. By comparison, SD cards have no official license. It's just a categorization of memory cards with some set standards set by the companies which make them.
A lesson I learned too late: microSD adapter sleeves exist for both memory pro duo and Vita cards.
