Editorial: Don't Blame Piracy on PSP Woes

GameStooge's Jordan Lund reacts to Dille's claims that piracy is behind the problems of the PlayStation Portable.

Excerpt: "But none of this will matter if the games don't end up being purchased. Games don't get bought, retailers don't order them, cycle repeats. I ran into this problem just today trying to run down a copy of Samurai Shodown Anthology on the PSP. It's a minor title, so most stores didn't even bother ordering it expecting sales to be negligible. Out of 6 stores, I found one copy of it for the Wii and 0 PSP copies. The PSP version isn't even listed on either the EB Games or the GameStop websites...

...What he [Dille] fails to explain is how piracy is just as big a problem on the Nintendo DS via the R4 device, and yet it doesn't seem to have impacted software sales to the degree that it has on the PSP."
