Emulation is cool, it allows old games to be played in modern hardware, allowing people to discovers games of the past. Or even keep those games alive. Does it hurts sales? Nope, I think it might even help sales. As some old ips can be known by more people thanks to emulation. On top of that this helps to keep a pressure downwards on those eBay crazy prices.

Actually, maybe that's the reason why I support emulation. I want everyone else to be using ROMs and ISOs so that the actual copies will be cheaper for me

well, I must admit I was very happy to play full throttle on my wii, thanks to scummvm. Now it is back on the menu thanks to remastering.
