Very true, but also very false. 

It's clear that piracy doesn't actually cost the industry anything in real terms. 

But it's also clear that piracy does impact total sales. 

Disagree.  One could 'think' that, but with no real evidence to support it other than the amount of times a game is pirated, it's really only drawing a conclusion without the bare minimum of necessary facts.

Even if 25 people on this planet pirated a game that they would have purchased you are affecting sales... It's a pretty damn safe bet that piracy DOES indeed affect sales the ONLY real question is how much.
