Nintendo has more money than Sony now
Now, for Nintendo's two video game systems DS and Wii, owners have the ability to download their games, and play them for free (pirating) for both systems and homebrew on the DS.
On the other hand, for Sony's two video game systems PSP and PS3, only the PSP can play pirated games and homebrew. And that is very limited. On the PS3, no one can play backups as of yet, so there are 0% people pirating PS3 software.
If you can have people pirating the two biggest part of your business (DS and Wii / games attribute for most, if not all of Nintendo's sales) and can pull ahead of Sony, who has only one of two systems being pirated, and makes a shtload of home electronics, then that shows how pirates have a small impact on the company...
If this is all true, then why do movie people (forgot company names, i think MPCAA and RCIAA, but im fairly sure that's wrong) complain so much about piracy? Even corn farmers complain about piracy: http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/1030 They say that corn farmers suffer from pirates because less people go to the movies as a consquence, and less people buy popcorn as a consequence... maybe its because movie theaters have lousy popcorn that gives me diarrehea!! >: O
