Now, if 50% or more of those modded PSP ownders actually buy some stuffs, I don't see Sony's Sales Rep actually making that kind of comment as with the case of PS1 and PS2.
Let's look at that piece.

"just about ready to jump off the cliff and pull support for the platform," some of which may be chalked up to massive amounts of PSP software piracy.

Notice the use of "some". There are other factors. And although I'm no insider, I'd assume that the biggest factor is DS kicking PSP's ass in terms of sales.

"piracy has taken out a big chunk of our software sales on PSP"

Doesn't really say anything, besides that there are pirates. "Big chunk" does not denote "majority". It doesn't even mean "a lot" depending on who's saying it.

"We can look at data from BitTorrent sites from the day Resistance: Retribution goes on sale and see how many copies are being downloaded illegally, and it's frankly sickening.

Well, I'm sure Nintendo execs would find the number of people downloading Zelda games illegally also sickening. As would Microsoft in regards to Halo games.
