Oh not this again... That's not how software pirating works. When a person opts to pirate software instead of buy it, it's because they feel the price of the software is too high. If the option to pirate is removed, then they won't suddenly decide that the prices are fair; they'll just opt not to buy anything.

 Here I have to agree ... many see spending 40$ for a portable game way to much , when a Wii game , a newly released is 50$ . Many EU games on the PSP only start selling again when they hit platinum edition , and many games skyrocket at that point ( as much as a PSP game can skyrocket that is ) . Also , a great example for good sales on low price is Patapon . The game is a quality one ,  but IMO it would have strugeled to reach 100k if the prce wouldent have been 20 $ .... now the game is at 200k and still going well . 

 

The PSP hardware and software sales would improve if a new redesign would come ( not a big difference : maybe built in memory , longer lasting battery etc. ) at a 150$ pricetag and if software price would go down officially from 40 $ to 30 $ .... it may not sound much , but many games would get a second chance IMO :)
