I have a hard time seeing any correlation between ease of piracy and the failure of a platform. I mean, the PS1 and PS2 were cracked wide open for essentially their entire lifespans, and the GBA had working emulators before the damn thing even launched.
The two data points that the "piracy/homebrew kills platforms" people always point to both have alternative hypotheses staring you in the face:
PSP: was a handheld not made by Nintendo. 'Nuff said. PSP, meet the Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket, N-Gage, Game.com, Game Gear and Lynx in the graveyard of everyone who's ever tried to stand up to the Game Boy juggernaut.
Dreamcast: was a Sega console. If that isn't enough, it came right off the heels of the utter fiasco that was the Saturn (everywhere outside the borders of Japan).
