Well pirating is a high seas thing. Applying it to IP is basically rights holder propaganda. If you don't take issue with that usage it isn't a massive leap to apply it to trademark infringement.
The Rubicon has been crossed, it's piracy because there's a theoretical possibility that the rights holder isn't making as much money as the theoretical maximum.
The person to whom you were responding just asked what sales Nintendo might plausibly be losing. I'm trying to understand if you're answering that question or just making a different point (ie, that even if they don't lose sales or suffer any loss at all, they'll still do this because reasons).
