PSP piracy slowdown: good triumphs over evil
Piracy has always been the monster under the gaming bed, with everyday consumers having access to pirated material virtually everywhere. But the PSP piracy is now slowing down, and Sony sees this as the good guys winning the battle versus the economic evil.
The good guys are winning. Despite PSP software hardly ever reaching the NPD‘s monthly top ten, SCEA head of hardware marketing John Koller is glad that piracy has toned down lately. “We’ve made really no secret (that there) certainly has been some piracy on the PSP,” he said. “We’ve seen that as a significant issue – it’s trending down right now, we’ve seen the piracy not be as such prevalent in the last month to two months, but it has been a problem for us.”
Pirates beware, Sony has been keeping an eye on PSP-related message boards and forums on sites that are known to promote piracy. “WeÂ’ve noticed thereÂ’s kind of a ‘good vs. evilÂ’ battle that we track on many of the forums and many of the pirated web sites,” laughed Koller. “It’s kind of been nice to see other consumers going and help fight the battle for us.”
Well, hats off to the all you real consumers – you deserve much credit for keeping the business alive.
This stuff is definitely not pirated:
