Here in the Philippines piracy is business for people. People can actually buy PSP/DS/Wii/Xbox 360 games for ONE DOLLAR but the game developers don't even earn money from these pirated games. That could explain why the PS3, PSP 3000 and DSi sell very poorly here because PS3 games are hard to pirate, the PSP 3000 uses only Sony Official Firmware (well, not anymore but it still won't run pirated games) and the DSi prevents those illegal cards from running on the system (example:R4.)
