Honestly, pirating games is no good for a system, especially if you only buy 1 or 2 games for it and the other 25 are pirated. Except for SONY, which I believe turned profit on the PS2 sometime in 2004, none of the console makers are making a profit on the system yet, though they're probably getting pretty close. Time for another price drop. So if they're not making money on the console, and your not buying games, they don't make any money at all.
