Piracy on the PSP is a big, bad problem, acknowledges head honcho of Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe David Reeves. He adds that it is a global problem and that it must be stopped. However, he also notes that piracy is actually pushing PSP hardware sales, and that’s the good thing. Here’s what he had to say:
There is a piracy problem on PSP. We know about it, we know how it’s done. It sometimes fuels the growth of hardware sales, but on balance we are not happy about it.
Well, I guess I myself would be confused if I’m to be happy or sad about piracy pushing hardware sales. The PSP may have sold well globally, but is yet to make a major dent in the DS install base.
