This isn't nearly as concerning as some of you believe so I'll (hopefully) do a decent job explaining why it doesn't matter -
There are less than a million ps4s on shelf worldwide by some estimates around here.
Sony will undoubtedly get this patched blazing fast. Ps4s will begin shipping with a new stock firmware blazing fast. The only people that will even have a chance to pirate are -the small pool of unsold consumers who buy any on shelves that aren't already upgraded, the people who buy the next few hundred thousand that are being manufactured as we speak, and the remaining users who will not be connecting to the internet from roughly the next few weeks onward. All things considered people who don't have internet access or weren't online anyway don't have much expendable income to be purchasing games anyway so there isn't much loss to accrue there. The amount of first world countries that will have users willing to ditch online is smaller than ever either.
Quite frankly this won't put a dent in software sales and might actually have a slight hardware boost rest of world for the super price conscious that otherwise wouldn't buy the console on the principal that they couldn't afford games.
