Theoretically, yes. I'm not going to say piracy has absolutely zero impact on sales.

Hmm, I'd argue your previous post:

*sigh* Once again: piracy does not equal lost sales. Every person that pirates did not intend to buy. The vast, vast majority of them would never spend their money on the game, for one reason or another

I simply argue that we can't quantify the impact in any meaningful way, and trying to argue situations where demand would act differently is fairly pointless overall as there is no definitive way to contradict the reality we experience.

I agree we can't really come up with solid numbers. Be that as it may, I can't just sneak into a movie theater to watch a movie and claim "well I wasn't going to buy a ticket anyways" when the theater staff ask me to leave.
