That is indeed relevant. There's a very easy case to be made for piracy for obsolete systems, where buying games officially is difficult or outright impossible (and therefore piracy is the only option, as opposed to being an alternative to paying for it properly), but when it's a current system, anyone enabling piracy is presenting an alternative to the legitimate demand that companies depend on to function. That's a problem, even if the "1 pirated copy=1 lost sale" equivalency has little basis in reality ("1 pirated copy=0 lost sales" is similarly fallacious).
