When was the firmware cracked anyway

Looking at FIFA for example


FIFA Soccer (05) .11 due to no europeon sales

FIFA 06 .57

FIFA 07 1.03

FIFA 08 .81

Grand theft Auto

Vice City - 2.44 Mil

San Andreas - 4.78 Mil


 The FW was cracked in 05 , but it became rampant ( and usable for most ) only at the beginning of 06 . Untill then dozen of showelware games where announced for the PSP , and then , afther Sony just couldent handle the issue with FW updates there where far less games announced . The best example of sales going down is what you showed : GTA : LCS is the best selling 3rd party portable game this gen , while VCS could only sell half . 

NFS : MW sold nearly 2 million copys on the PSP while Carbon still didnt hit the million .

Madden sales went down for 3 years , even though hardware is going up ( stillf far better than on the DS true) .

Smackdown ... well I dont know its still selling .

There are some differences  , but most of them came last year when the S&L came andmany new addopters came . So yeah , I balme piarcy for the lower sales of yearly franchises , especially when Madden 08 for the PSP often appeared as top downloads on torent sites ...
