I guess "LaLa land" is the real world. The people who pirate games aren't going to go out and buy a console, which in many of their countries exceeds the price of a gaming PC two-fold or three-fold. And if they already have a console then they'll pirate it on said console. Furthermore, since they have access to a plethora of other PC titles to play until release of this specific game (which they obtain for free) they aren't bothered by not playing a game so soon. Meanwhile the people who intended to buy the game on PC will feel screwed and will either pirate it when it releases, might not buy it when it releases, or wait for a discount since their hype was dilluted. As for DRM's, it has been shown that DRMs lead to piracy as the pirated version is the superior version. 

Conveniently ignoring my perfect example. Diablo 3 can't be pirated. The single player campaing requires an internet connection. There is LATENCY in my single player game.  Hearthstone can't be played locally etc

Nobody would want to pirate DIablo 3 anyway. It is a multiplayer-focused game.
