So you're saying that since the difference in PC game sales versus consoles can be accounted for primarily by piracy (not difference in demand), and that PC game sales are 10% of console sales--that 9 times as many people pirate PC games as buy them?
That doesn't take into account that many of the pirates wouldn't have purchased the game if piracy wasn't an option. If we consider that, then we'd need many more pirates, maybe twice as many (18 times as many pirates than purchasers in total), to account for the lower PC sales.
