The studies that have indicated this are in no way scientific.
As far as there being no loss
perhaps you'd care to tell Nintendo this?
Quote:
According to a U.S. study last December, Italy leads Europe in the number of illegal downloads, followed by Spain and France.
Nintendo said it saw sales of its DS software plummet in Europe and some other markets by 45 percent in April-December 2009, compared to the previous year.
The drop was significantly steeper than an 11 percent fall in the United States and a 7 percent drop in Japan during the same period.
