What's the reason the PS3 hasn't been cracked yet? Too complicated? Sony did a good job with piracy on PS3.

Give this a read and then you'll know why it's so hard to crack, sounds near impossible to me.

Yes, since Sony rely so heavily on software sales to make up for losses on hardware, they'd be in BIG trouble if people could pirate their games.

I believe it's a bit of both. I don't know too much about console hacking, so I'll assume that this bloke is right.

EDIT: Damn you Gilgamesh, posting that link before me 



wow the # of pirated copies of mw2 on pc is insane

If 1/4 of X360 owners bought MW2 then that would mean there is at most 4m of X360 owners that pirate games, what in reality means that "true" number of X360 and PS3 owners who buy games is the same, about 30m on each console. Now we can really catch the glimpse of how good games on X360 sell.



*waits for shio to come in and post how CoD4 on PC sold 10 million despite all the mounting evidence to show that both it and MW2 on PC received gargantuan levels of piracy and had very low sales overall*



PC number is so high because people only download it for the single player since IW.net is fucking ass. I personally wouldn't even torrent it, garbage and waste of time on PC, IW is dead to me.



Surprise surprise. The PC is the worst platform to develop BIG projects for.

/waits for shio to prove me wrong

A lot of people don't buy PS3s because simply, it's impossible to play pirated games on them. Some people only buy a few pirated games... they only buy originals when they want to play that game online.


bullshit. A lot of people are buying PS3's because the games are there and the price dropped. This is where the pirate demons follow. They will eventually crack it.

 

As for PC gaming those numbers were predictable.
