The majority of PS3 piracy happens on hacked PS3s, but PS3s they haven't passed that firmware milestone of being locked out are few and far in between. Everyone else uses emulators because they're free and the type of gamer to adamantly refuse a console will likely have a beefy PC.

 

 

Emulators are tools of piracy, just as much as hardware modification. It's not even close to be debatable.

Yeah, but that is not what you said. You said,  

"And you can't use it without the emulator. You might not need it to download the game, but you need it to play the game."

which is false. Which is why we disputed your claim. 

Anyway, you need more than a "beefy PC" you need an overclockable CPU for any post-5th generation emulation, which is an even smaller subset of gaming PC enthusiasts. 

Neither emulators nor hardware modifications are exclusively "tools of piracy." The majority of the games that I play (rather than merely test) through emulation I've owned, most I have even ripped myself (particularly when it comes to my Wii and PS2.) Why do I emulate my games? Because this

looks much better than this 

and this 

looks much better than this

on a big television. This is likely the case for most emulator enthusiasts. 

Okay, fine, we'll move the goalpost:

 

Emulation is a tool of piracy for when the pirate can't even be bothered to buy the console. The kind of gamer who is so dead set on not owning the console to begin with is likely going to have a beefy PC.

 

As for your last part, I'll counter by saying that a substantial amount of the use of console mods and emulation is for piracy. A quick peek into any forum discussing it will reveal as much.

 

As for most emulator enthusiasts actually owning their games, they just want to play better versions? Bullshit. If you actually do what you say you do, fine. I've no place to call you a liar- you might be the one person who actually does. But to sit there and tell me that most do? I'm sorry, but that's simply an insult.
