[QUOTE="elbow2k"] Do you know how easy it is to Mod a X360 or Wii?
Or Maybe you suddenly forgot about the Nintendo losing a billion dollars due to piracy?
Fast fact, do some googling before you pin point PC gaming as the only guilty culprit of piracy.
I've lost all respect for CliffyB, he might as well go sell himself to Microsoft before PC gamer start saying "Who's that guy? Someone else Microsoft paid off to promote their system?". Besides Crysis selling a million copies in three months, isn't too shabby if you ask me. :|

PC piracy is far more easier. Modding an X-box 360 or a Wii might be easy but you don't have to mod anything on your PC. You just download the game and play it. Nintendo might have lost a billion dollars but just look how many games they make and they also have 2 platforms. I also presume that the loss of income due to piracy on PC is actually more than for Nintendo. Heck, I'd even believe that EA is losing more than Nintendo, solely on PC.
Nintendo did not lose billions of dollars.. They would first have to have it to begin with.. But they did not.. As I said earlier its still the age old question of A) would they have bought it to begin with? B)Did they even have the funds or access to getting it if there was no piracy?
People need to realize that these are businesses.. They will say anything and everything to maximize their profits...
I also would like to add that two games, both no copy write protection, Galactiic Civilization 2 and most recent Sins ofa Solar empire are selling huge amounts.. Sure some people are probably pirating it, but its a empty figure and it shows that a company can gain huge profits with piracy.. Piracy as I said again is a "what if" figure.. You can not equate it to a direct loss.. Its stupid to even suggest that.
