100k vs 20 million sold switch? Yes it's indeed a small pirating user base. Learn to do your math
lol! You are obviously the one who has to attend some additional math lessons. If they sold 100k in a week, how much will they sell till the end of 2018?
Considering the fact that NOW everyone outside scene forums will know about them.

been selling switch jigs, there was a huge initial surge of sales, then things slow down, eventually it will just become a trickle, then drips, this is just how these things work, most people looking for hacks etc were waiting behind the floodgates ready to buy, its not going to keep up a streak of 100k per week, that would be absurd

Lol you referred to the actual situation and based your reaction to that, now you're trying to save your statement with imaginary assumptions, let's stick to what we have now and tangible numbers. Oh no you can't beacuse in that case you'd feel dumb at assuming that 0,5% of pirates could be comparable to 20 million user base.

But for the sake of it, let's take in account what you said, as far as we know sx selling graphic could have a bell shape, where the most sold copies are on release(has it happens with most of the products) so the majority of interested buyers already bought it. You also forget that while sx will sell more (but with less of a peak than the initial release) by the end of the year even the switch will sell more copies in proportion, so percentage will be still nearly the same.

And here's the proof.



Sorry for the OT.

This isn't even that bad if it immediately triggers. The thing about the gateway brick code was that it took some time to trigger so no one realized and random people who bought clones were getting hit without knowing what happened. It it instantly hits when you try messing with it and only then, it'll never affect random people.

so you mean the switch will sell another 20 million till end of the year? lol! do you even read what you write?

let's be realistic here. TX will continue to sell very good until another solution comes up (not even on the horizon when you consider SciresM's latest posts).
so another at least 200k until end of 2018 and we are at roughly 1% of users pirating the shit out of their switch. that is a billion in sales lost. not bad! I do not consider this peanuts. why do you think Big N gave green light to mariko? because it does not hurt? come on, wake up.

Cause Pragma doesn't mess with the code.
He just copies other peoples shit and sends the occasional email to TX asking for help
funny - i once read about some dev cracking his own game because the crack he saw floating around the internet for his game wasn't done that well lol.
so he cracked it better.

(but tx aren't going to do that)

Man you started from 100k per week to 200k at the end of the year, just admit you made a shitty assumption and while trying to make a fool of others, you made fool of yourself.


Returning on topic, so gateway bricked a total of 8 consoles (or i'm understanding it wrong?) and people are raging about the possibility that sx os could brick common people and also changing their mind about buying it. Wow...

you just confirmed you cannot read. I wrote "at least another 200k" which would make it 300k (at least) until end of the year. you really think you can get away with dyslexia?

on topic: where did you get that brickway numbers from? assumption? or did you just count the users posted here who were bricked? wow!

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but it doesn't read that way.

"I am saying that they are going to lag behind when the community starts finding new exploits and really starts booming."

But if you meant to write:

"If the community catches up and surpasses TX and SX OS sales trail off, then the updates will slow down or even stop".

Then I agree with you.
The second one, basically like the pre-A9LH days of the 3DS scene into A9LH.

You know that changes nothing, you can try to rise it to 1,2 or even 1,5 they're just assumptions, and still assumptions of a small percentage, how can you be a loser like this and not admit you failed so hard?

Stop playing with assumptions anyway, i wanted to follow your dumb reasoning of what "could" happen until the end of the year, but your statement as of now(which is the only real data we have) is just useless and tries to flame people which said a pretty fair and real thing, pirates are a small amount of userbase and 100k is a small amount of 20 millions.


But it's ok, keep climbing the mirror alone, i don't want to be banned for off topic, i just wanted to point out your "ah-ah i'm just clever than you guys" was absurd, but if you're ok with keeping being dumb i'm ok with it.

This just further proves TX doesn't give a shit about the scene, or those who purchase his products aside from their money, after-all he never considered when creating this that on the off chance a Homebrew App could release down the road (when they become more complicated) that one might conflict with the brick code, setting the proccess off even on legit users, if that god forbid ever happens, then don't expect TX to so much as refund your purchase after you redeem your license, even if his greedy mits are the reason your Switch would be bricked, if he was actually worried about the end consumer he wouldn't of risked brick code, now any respect I had for his work is lost, he's nothing, but a scummy leach on this scene.

ha that's why they are great - they are in it for the money, they give us a great product, they don't care about any of the junk/rules/drama like the other guys.

if you try to hack their product, you get bricked, thankfully i'm not going to try to reverse sx os.
