I only buy Nintendo consoles, so I remember being jealous of their ability to pirate.

I guess you were happy with your Wii and DS.

I don't think any piracy will ever compare to DS piracy. You could put all the games you wanted on a micro sd card, stick it into the R4 (or any of it's many clones) and there you go. And for the last couple years of the DS these cards could be had for under $10. Even the Wii required some effort to soft mod, and you still had to care about updates. The DS was totally broken however.

The PSP was also bad. I think that piracy becomes a problem when it gives consumers a superior product for free.
