Serious question - every other time someone said this for any other previous console, it always got hacked. What makes you think this time it will be different?

I don't think anyone said the system won't get jailbroken eventually. The more sensible assumption is the console won't get hacked within its life cycle. For this to happen, Nintendo need to have fucked up pretty badly like some serious leak.

Last time it was Nvidia that fcked up. That didn't happen this time.

For being realistic?

yes, for that is more accurate: Switch 2 will be not hacked on the lifespan of the console. may be will be hacked several years after the console discontinuation.

Well is that really true, for v1 switch yes Nvidia was to blame. But then how do you explain migswitch - is that nvidia's fault or picofly on patched switches - is that also nvidia's fault?

Look at evey console - some said xbox360 couldn't be hacked without a hardware mod and we have bad update/bad avatar. PS3 was hacked via usb, PS4 via web browser (and others). Every console has been hacked. Someone ends up just thinking about some way to defeat the system, switch 2 can probably be done by removing the chips from the motherboard, putting on a custom board to read them, or decapping them and then decompiling/decrypting firmware and then looking for an exploit.

While it's true most people don't have the resources or knowledge to do that, there's people in this world that do.....so is switch 2 unhackable? I don't think so and history has shown us that everything is hackable at some point. Now we have AI tools that can be used to help with this, so it's just a matter of time until it's hacked in my opinion. For all we know someone could have a custom game cartridge mod that's not public.

Could you explain this last sentence please?

It's self explanatory, not everything is public knowledge.

Mig is not a hack/ entry way, it is simply a cartridge duplication/ replacement.

Yes, because that would not be here today if the Nvidia backdoor was not exposed.
