Just like how successful the PC platform is?
What about the iPod/iPhone/iPad and how much they've been jailbroken?

Don't get brainwashed by studios that piracy destroys a market.  It has been shown by a number of studies that it doesn't, and in many cases has a reverse effect.
A game/console fails because it's poo poo in some way (even if it's marketing), not because of piracy.


Anyway, one's individual decision has very little impact on the success of a console.  Unless you're in a position of power or have great influence, it's best to accept that following your own morals probably get you nowhere (but personal satisfaction perhaps).
