Indeed the US dropped 2 nukes on Japan but it was Russia that they feared and Russia ultimately won the war in the Pacific. Likewise if you squash out all the R4 and such manufacturing in China, they'll just move it all to Russia. I can guarantee you on that.
Or South America.....there are plenty of 'havens' in the world were 'Western' copyright and patent laws are not only disregarded but downright loathed. Just turns out China has the cheap electronics manufacturing capabilities and then excellent westernized outposts like HK to do business thru.....ideal really....
Funny thing about retrobution.....is after $ony went after GeoHot.....they got majorly screwed with anonymous taking down PSN for the better part of a month...I heard the figures on that and it cost them considerable lost income as well as losing face with their customers....and it really hurt indie digital publishers who depend on their launch windows and such....so in the end what PS3 like everything had single digit % of piracy against a 70mil user base and caused all this self inflicted harm trying to be bad asses....hopefully they learned their lesson...Then I think M$ really over reached pre-E3 with the xbone policies and the consumer backlash made them change course in a hurry.....although I believe they will still push DRM and other strong arm tactics on xbone eventually....which is why I am staying away from it and just going WiiU and PS4 this generation when I currently own 3 X360 and had the first Xbox as well. Hell they are both going to get all the same multiplats and M$ exclusives have been lame when compared to $ony and Nintendo.
