Because piracy isn't a real issue when it comes to sales. It's a lame duck excuse. Consumers are indocturnated to be willing to pay a fair price for a product they want... and would actually rather do this then steal the game.
The vast majority of people who pirate games are people who wouldn't buy games in the first place. The small amount that do that would pay for it otherwise are offset by mild positive factors like word of mouth and increased value perception.
Any real negative effects piracy may have would be mostly on the sale of used games, and the sales of games like a year later when the games start getting discounted.
People just aren't interested in PSP games... either piracy is helping PSP sales numbers, people are mostly using it for it's other media functions or both.
