YAAR - CONSOLE PIRACY BE ON THE RISE, MATEY
A recent survey by Macrovision, a California-based anti-piracy firm, shows that 21 percent of console gamers use pirated software (mostly from peer to peer networks). Obviously such gamers also use mod chips or modify their consoles without chips to be able to play the pirated games. Macrovision, probably with an eye to future business, warns that game piracy is bound to increase in the future.
The report also claims that three quarters of those who obtain pirated games would have purchased the games had they not been available for free, so it's interesting to wonder the extent to which the pirates also buy legitimate copies of games.
