Because Sony knows the truth, filesharing hasn't really altered the demographics of copyright theft at all. There always has, and always will be the means to breach copyright law. p2p is a strawman set up by the media distribution industries to clamp down on copyright theft and fleace ligitmate customers and producers out of more money. Any shown decrease in sales is more likely to point to the awfully manufactured crap they push out these days, rather than by piracy which has no reliable metric for measuring it's effect.
