That's what really hampered the NDS and Wii, software and hardware sales.
It's amazing what they have both accomplished, though.

Piracy is certainly a sad predicament.

On the one hand, I believe that entertainment should be supported financially. On the other I sympathize that not everyone has the money to pay for such games, especially overseas.

That said for those who complain, I'm willing to believe that if you're able to buy a legitimate piece of hardware, whether a new and expensive game console or a gaming rig, I can only assume you're not that bad off with your current lifestyle; if you have the ability to pay for your games do the industry a favor and do it.

They were selling the games online on sites like eBay as if they were original.
