Just how much is PS4 beating Xbox One in sales this year?

There are a few points of contention among your comments to be sure. This one, it makes me have to massage my temples to relieve stress. Do you believe that? That those 2 systems sold well due to the fact they could play pirated games? Because that's what you said, and it's what I just repeated. You know that the Dreamcast had a prolific pirate scene, right? So did the original Xbox. I'll leave it at that and wish you a happy weekend.

Thats exactly what i said. It plays a big part in system sales. Yes Dreamcast and Xbox were also piratable systems however not in the extreme of the PS1 and PS2. Where i am from, seeing a brought PS1 game is very rare, almost no one i knew brought there games and its a major reason why they brought a PS1 over a N64. I own a PS1 due to it being a chipped console aswell as all my friends and there families. At the time no body knew what a Playstation was instead of the fact you can get it chipped and get burnt games for it for free. 

Dont rubbed those temples too hard.

Enjoy your weekend.

Whereever you're from is likely a very tiny market that doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. PS1/PS2 had the highest attach ratios of all time (though PS1 has now been surpassed by PS3, 360, Wii, PS2, and sits at number 5). That doesn't happen when piracy is rampant on a system, look at PSP for that, that's a system that sold a lot because you could pirate games on it which led to low attach rate and therefore publishers abondoning it because their games weren't selling. PS1/PS2 games sold better than anyone had seen games sell on a console, piracy being a problem on them makes as much sense as MS releasing a console a week after a Playstation and expecting to compete.lol
