So your argument is that it behooves console makers to make piracy easier on the system so that more systems are sold? You forget to factor in the fact that console hardware is sold at a loss. This means that the company in this example now has a bunch of consoles sold (for a loss in profit) and little money coming in for game sales because of rampant, easy piracy.

Yep, seems like an awesome business model to me.
