PS3 and PSP have CFW.
Xbox (the old one) had some form of CFW (NDURE) and 360 could be JTAG/RHD modded.
Therefore, your argument is completely invalid.
The original xbox actually has quite a few custom firmwares available for it without needing a modchip, along with custom bios if you want to TSOP flash. (as easy as bridging a couple connections on the mobo and running some homebrew.
In fact there were many exploits that involved transferring modified saves to certain games, kinda like some of the exploits we have on 3ds.

Well, the thing is Nintendo consoles are the most hacked so far every Nintendo system can run unsigned code except for the switch that's not even out yet. Nintendo has caused more exploits to happen when they tried to patch stuff on the 3ds patching stuff can lead to more bugs.

I would be way cool with this because we'd have a ton of emulator options as soon as they did.
Yes! It'd be awesome.
The homebrew posibilities with this Nintendo console are pretty much limitless.
I was being sarcastic with the possible fact that people will hack the device in order to play Candy Crush and Minecraft.
I mean, c´mon.... you can possibly play Gamecube and Wii games on it.
Let alone N64 classics with HD textures :yay:

While I want it to be hacked so I can get free games, I think if it's cracked in the first 6 months it would drastically harm game sales from 3rd party sellers...and would ultimately make the switch a failure

not really ..not everyone hacks their consoles and voids warranty ...modders are always a minority ..it's the peeps like Gateway who make the most money out if of an early hack ..

They're a company after all, they got to make money even if the code used is stolen and far from brick proof

im honestly thinking its going to be fairly quick to see a "WE DID IT!!!" post from yellows8 or failoverfl0w, my guess would be 4 months to 1 year, but as for actual end user homebrew, that will probably not come for a long time, we will have the obligatory 2 years of teasing and hacker conferences alluding to full blown hacks and cfw already fully complete but all private (fair enough I guess, full blown piracy hacks too early would jeopardise 3rd party support, although that argument was given in regards to the Wii U and it still didn't help it succeed, I think if a system is going to be popular it will do so on its own merit)

maybe we can all just become devs and have dev kits and only use the switch for homebrew XD

This. I don't have any verifiable statistics but I rarely meet anyone in the wild that has done any hacking on systems. Maybe 3-4%? Most people don't have the time or desire.

This is why a used N3DS that takes 3-4 hours to hack goes for $375 on eBay.

I can agree to the sentiment of 3ds piracy being much too easy, but again the blame for that fall's on Nintendo for doing sloppy fixes, the safefirmhax was a really stupid oversight

I just ran a random number generator and it gave me "369".
I can only understand this is the amount of days until the event. (because crystal ball)
So it will happen on February 19th, 2018.

Legit. /s
This is the biggest necrobump on Earth but I can't believe how close you were to the actual date that RCM (Maybe not RCM? The actual exploit reswitched used back then was vague) was put into use.
