Ridiculous PSP piracy numbers
Piracy is ruining the PSP. Although quality titles continue to come out on the handheld, many have been wondering: where are the software sales? Hardware has done incredibly well since the release of the redesigned PSP-2000, but PSP software still fails to make it to the top of the charts. What's to blame? It's easy to blame pirates, who take advantage of the easily circumventable security of the system. Rlan from NeoGAF took a look at just one torrent site and found the number of downloads of PSP games to be absolutely disgusting. God of War: Chains of Olympus - 94,154 Patapon - 112,183 Ratchet & Clank - Size Matters - 197,113 Crush - 48,959 LOCO ROCO - 163,904 Wipeout Pulse - 116,965 Castlevania X Chronicles - 102,354 Metal Gear Solid - Portable Ops (Not Including Plus) - 231,054 Burnout Dominator - 269,486A game like Patapon shouldn't be pirated -- that only costs $20 at retail! God of War has managed to get nearly 100k downloads since its release. That's absolutely shameful. Downloading a torrented game is stealing -- just because it's easy doesn't make it right.
