This happens all the time.\n\nThe GameCube is my favorite example. It was hard to pirate games for. Unsurprisingly, the console sold really, really badly in South East Asia. At the same time, PS2 and Xbox both used normal disks, and consequently, since games could be pirated easily, those consoles outsold the GameCube in South East Asia. Nintendo was a victim of their own hubris, their attempt to reduce piracy literally meant they got outsold by their competitors. This is not a unique experience, this continues to happen again and again.","removed":false,"published":"2025-06-24T22:09:37.162938Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://lemmy.world/comment/17866628","local":false,"path":"0.17631264","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":1299,"name":"RightHandOfIkaros","banned":false,"published":"2023-06-15T08:48:17.639385Z","actor_id":"https://lemmy.world/u/RightHandOfIkaros","local":false,"deleted":false,"bot_account":false,"instance_id":24},"post":{"id":24587592,"name":"Japan to Step Up Fight Against Counterfeit Anime Goods Overseas; Part of Moves to Boost Content Industry","url":"https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/manga-anime/20250624-265712/","creator_id":299429,"community_id":38898,"removed":false,"locked":false,"published":"2025-06-24T21:11:21.962760Z","deleted":false,"nsfw":false,"embed_title":"Japan to Step Up Fight Against Counterfeit Anime Goods Overseas; Part of Moves to Boost Content Industry","embed_description":"
