Everything you list there is a plus in non-wealthy countries were internet access is slow and expensive. I suspect the total sales of bootleg PS2 games greatly exceeded Sony's legit sales in the global south due to the widespread availability of "chipped" PS2 consoles.

And in most ‘second world’ where people have a but more money internet is generally cheap and fast especially compared so countries like US or Canada.
- sangnoir 4y ago> I’m not sure many people could afford a PS5 in places such as this. Why does it have to be "many"? Bootleg games have extremely high margins for the bootleggers. That said, the PS5 is cheaper than an iPhone, and there are plenty of those. If you're bored, look up instagram pictures geolocated in the poorest cities you can think of, then count the number of recent iPhones that at least worth a new PS5. The number may surprise you.
