Piracy affects PSP sales? Pfft! You're crazy!

EDIT: I'm talking about software sales guys, not hardware. Sorry, the title is misleading, I know. 

I've been seeing this far too much. People think the PSP's software sales are so low because the games "suck" yet they ignore the hardware sales seem to be doing fine. When piracy is mentioned, the person that mentioned it is called crazy because "piracy couldn't have possibly affected the PSP's software sales."

Just how big are the piracy numbers for the PSP? Lets take a look:

• God of War: Chains of Olympus - 94,154
• Patapon - 112,183
• Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, - 197,113
• Crush - 48,959
• Loco Roco - 163,904
• Wipeout Pulse - 116,965
• Castlevania X Chronicles - 102,354
• Metal Gear Solid - Portable Ops (Not Including Plus) - 231,054
• Burnout Dominator - 269,486
