no, I'm not shocked about piracy as a whole, there has always been and always will. Every console in the recent history has been cracked... except one.

That's why I'm shocked is that PS3 is YET to be cracked. Considering how easily hackers like Dark_Alex can crack a PSP firmware, and yet the newest Sony console release is yet to be defeated.

Do you think that Sony finally learned their lesson from PSP and got it right this time?

Nope, Sony learned their lesson from the PSOne + PS2 era, but in that time it wasn't a big deal because they were making money with each sale, now with the PS3 looks like they didn't wanted to took any risk (Because the plan was sold with loss and recover the money with each game sold)...

Well that makes sense at least for me...

Yeah, i'd agree.  In the case of the PS1, PS2 and even PSP it's likely that piracy actually made them more money then it cost.

When you get to poorer countries which systems are going to be the most popular?  The ones you can pirate because then people can get games rather then wait a few months to save up enough money to actually pay more for a game then people do in a country like the US.
