Haven't watched the video as yet, but I'm pretty sure piracy was only a minuscule factor. The "surprise" release on 9.9.99, while a great date, was a silly move on their part and pissed off third party developers. Then, just like the Saturn, they made it a challenge to code games for, making 3rd party developers even more unhappy with them. So, lack of 3rd party support, silly move to launch the console, prematurely killing off the Saturn (even though it lasted until 2000 in Japan with an absolutely massive library of amazing games), and utilizing some...interesting...choices to advertise the console...well...it just killed itself, basically. Good console, like the Saturn was, but marketing and silly decision making really lead to it flopping.
