I think you should re-read my points. I own a psp and I own some games.
But the line of thinking in this thread is that all the psp's problems are because of piracy but that the psp is a sucess because it sold 70m hardware units .
Piracy is not as common place as many mae it sound. In America you can't buy systems modded already , any of those places would be closed down right away. Software sells here but sells poorly. It obviously can't be all because of piracy.
CFW is not a problem. You can have CFW without piracy and many don't use it to pirate games. (I certianly don't). If a system fails at its intended purpose then of course people are not going to continue using it even if they own it
CFW is a problem. You use it to watch pirated anime.
I can promise you that the numbers will tell you that more people use CFW to pirate their games than to watch damn anime videos. Quit trying to shit on Sony because you don't care for the company or whatever, and quit pulling stuff out of your ass. If you're going to discuss this kind of stuff, look at both sides instead of just preaching how shitty a product is because you didn't like it (while obviously playing favorites to the other side).
The PSP appeals to people who are tech geeks more so than the DS, so they are far more likely to mod the system with CFW. Like I said, it's rampant in the Military. You're acting like it takes a lot of "skill" to mod a PSP. It's easy as pie, as I said, anyone who can read can do it, which I think is quite a huge chunk of the US. I'd wager you are (once again) underselling the problem because you don't like the PSP and Sony as a whole.
CFW is shit, hackers are shit, modders are shit. They know what they do WILL be used for piracy, and they do it anyway. If a small dev like Q Games takes issue with piracy on PSP and discontinues support, what makes you think a larger developer / publisher like EA or Activision want to support it? You think they don't see how many copies they ship vs how many are being played? You don't think they see the torrents online with the number of seeders?
Just checking available torrents for "PSP" I can see over twenty thousand active leechers. You don't think that's a problem? It's not like 20K and it's over. It's just 20K right
now. There's 6K leechers downloading a mega pack that offers 145 PSP games.
Quit joking yourself dude, at least come out with it and speak your mind instead of hiding behind double speak and lies. You don't like Sony, it's cool, no one really cares. Trolling the PSP and Sony's action to combat piracy preemptively though is ridiculous and absurd, especially when you're pretending to be so naive.
