There's probably a lot of time until we can play games with hax though. I could buy a Switch right now, but then I don't know for how long it would be gathering dust.

I know, but if the overall piracy rates remained low enough and/or they only considered the hardware sales initially, there could have still been an overall benefit.
console makers make more money from software sales than hardware sales. piracy does not benefit developers or console makers at all

If that is true, then PokeAcer could potentially be sued or worse if someone notified Nintendo.

Doing shit like this is a great way to get actual legal work done against your scene.

And this time not because Sony go draconian on your ass but because you violated a signed contract and broke the law.

I know, but publishers may have used the hardware sales (initially) as an indication of a platform doing well and the amount of potential customers to justify making software for a platform.

I'm not talking long term here (especially if piracy would be a big factor in these hardware sales), but if there were enough good games then non-pirates could get interested in the platform and subsequently keep up the momentum.

Remember, this is a hypothetical scenario for what could have happened and is set a few years ago.

Dang, I was so close to updating my 2.0 switch, glad I didn't. What's the possibility of them actually releasing the exploit though? Is it just going to be a hacker gloating on twitter and then not releasing anything like the PS4 scene?

Went ahead and ordered one from Amazon since they're "restocked" for Prime members. I still have my main one on 3.0.0 but would like to update it and have this extra for homebrew.
