Alright, where's your little source that console piracy is on the rise? As for Usenet and other sources to get games, I'm willing to bet the ratio of PC games downloaded is much higher compared to the console games.
Also, more incentive to pirate a console game? That's just flat out bullshit. Here's a few reasons to not pirate a 360 game.
1. Risk bricking your system if you install the mod chip wrong.
2. Voids your warranty
3. Banned from Live
There is actually alot more incentive to pirate a PC game as it's much easier, faster, safer, and it's so much more widespread that you are least likely to get caught. Console games are only $10 more than PC games on release(I'm talking about same day multiplatform releases).
I never said that piracy on console is not a problem, because all piracy is a problem. It's just not on the scale of PC games where developers and publishers are scared of making PC games like these days.
