No you're right. The 3DS was a flop in the first year. What saved it was better games being released and the price drop. I think a lot of people saw really no use to upgrade to the 3DS because they had a DS at the time, and the 3D didn't really excite them. But the more Nintendo games got release such as Super Mario 3D Land it started to sell. I also think the XL version helped a lot because the original screens was tiny!
I remember propping open my disc housing, watching for a pause on the disc spin, whipping the disc out and sticking a copied disc in and it worked on PS1.
Ah right, it was quite a turn around in the end then really, it's pretty rare to be able to recover from a poor launch year, i'd be interested to know if any other consoles have managed it.
that is not necessarily true. It could crash AFTER the exploit works because it is trying to run the 3ds exploit code on totally different hardware.
System did sell, and very well yes, now ask developpers or look at the western developer releases. They all stopped releasing games because of piracy. It is well known. Same thing applies to the wii. Of course Japanese developers kept releasing games because they did sell well among Japanese users and western "niche" jap games enthusiasts.
The Wii actually had pretty good 3rd party support, it's just that due to it's immense success it attracted a lot of shovelware, and because it was geared more towards casuals it got a lot of casual games. There were still a good amount of 1st party and 3rd party games geared towards core gamers though, it just might take some searching to find them.Oh NO!!! this is very sad newsI can see the Nintendo Switch going just the way the WiiU did or the Wii for that matter regarding software, this is really terrible news, if its going to be hacked so early on in development. Don't these people realize there just destroying a really promising console by Nintendo? all this early info coming through off hacking will just kill it off and put 3rd party developers right off from making great games like for example maybe a port off Resident Evil 7 by Capcom etc.. that's if it hasn't already.. If they hack it asap it will go the same way as the Wii did all there will be is 1st party titles and very dodgy crappy 3rd party titles from not very well known developers. Do you all remember titles like this on the Wii> "Deal or No Deal" or maybe even worse, "Major Minor’s Majestic March", yes, that's what sort of great games will be left in the end on your Nintendo Switch!
That is true. The fact that it crashes at all (even if it displays an error message) is promising, as if it didn't crash at all we'd know for sure the exploit doesn't work.
OK. I wasnt sure based on the old description. So it looks like the stagefright is the only viable option.
That error code is the standard "something went wrong" code. People can get it when just booting the Switch up because of something corrupt. This isn't the exploit you're looking for.
As The real jdbye said
Heres the kicker, how do you get the exploitable code in to the Switch's new security layers? Still, what you're trying to cling too are basically straws. You got to remember that Nintendo might be crappy on security (even MS and Sony is but they patch faster) but do you think they would run an outdated webkit and kernel?
Can we talk about this speculation somewhere else?
We already know the webkit is outdated
of course, but compared to the socalled exploit, don't you think they checked all this before the release? I think some devs would be pretty disappointed if they didn't. Remember that the Switch is under the bugbounty as well.
I bet they got some unreleased exploits they might be trying. I know about Smea since their bug bounty isn't garanteed to payout. We normal leechers just have to wait for the pros to poke on the system to know more.
It did. Mainly because it had absolutely zero system sellers at launch. There was Nintendogs, Rayman 3D, Pilotwings, Super Monkey Ball 3D and that was pretty much it. At least it came with some semi-decent games, AR Games was fun and Face Raiders was at least fun for a while.
