Sony sickened by 'sales reducing' piracy

In a chat with Sony's Peter Dille, Gamasutra got an explanation from the man on why the PSP had a turn of luck and started selling better over the last 18 months.

He talks about how Sony guided developers into producing better titles that made more sense on the PSP rather than just porting best-sellers. He actually named this "evangelizing the PSP".

Then the interview took an interesting turn towards the topic of piracy and how this affects the PSP.
"I'm convinced and we're convinced that piracy has taken out a big chunk of our software sales on PSP,"

"It's been a problem that the industry has to address together; it's one that I think the industry takes very seriously, but we need to do something to address this because it's criminal what's going on, quite frankly."

"It's not good for us, but it's not good for the development community. We can look at data from BitTorrent sites from the day Resistance: Retribution goes on sale and see how many copies are being downloaded illegally, and it's frankly sickening. We are spending a lot of time talking about how we can deal with that problem."
So basically he says that they need to upgrade the PSP to counter piracy but with those few million piracy-capable devices already on the market they might be a little late to the party.

And if there was no piracy they would not sell that many devices so in the end they would end up not selling devices and software. Tough choice, do I go bancrupt or do I just keep selling devices. Sometimes those wannabe-business people make me sick with their excuses.

I hate to say it but I think a good chunk of the people who purchased it did so to hack it and run 3rd party programs.
