Piracy: it's threatening to kill the industry.

Well, game piracy has been around for decades, and the industry is still alive.

If anything, piracy greatly helped Sony to move PS2 and PSP consoles in such numbers.

Yes but don't forget that piracy is one of the big reasons why Sega is out of Business. Their Dreamcast games were so easy to bootleg, everyone with a Burner back in my HS days would sell DC games for profit.
