Hacking Question Why the Nintendo consoles are always the first/only consoles hacked?

doublespaces · Apr 16, 2018

I build my games collection on the Xbox, its backwards compatible across its entire console spectrum to some degree and PC versions can be free. The original Xbox is the only Microsoft console which has a softmod. Every Sony and Nintendo console was hacked wide open. Without a softmod or non-solder modding devices, the chances of any widespread development support is very slim. Here is a list of consoles and if they had a softmod:

Xbox -> Softmod
Xbox 360 -> No
Xbox One -> No

PS2-> Softmod
PS3-> Softmod
PS4-> Softmod

Wii - Softmod
Wii U - Softmod
Switch - Softmod coming

Microsoft does software very well, they are a software company who works in the enterprise. They should be ashamed if Nintendo or Sony best them in software security. Once again, the reason I have a 3.x PS4 Pro sitting in my closet along with a launch Switch and I have two XB1 and an XB1X, all updated to current with a very large game collection.

Microsoft runs Azure, they have an entire cloud computer platform. Microsoft can completely saturate my 1GB fiber connection. They built Xbox Live from the ground up. Sony had to buy the GaiKai online gaming network. Nintendo doesn't even know what the heck a multiplayer game is. I'd much prefer to update my Xbox console and play its games online, free of the cheating and hacking you're much more likely encounter with the other two as they are prone to hacking and poor security.

For the record, I'm not a Sony or Nintendo hater, its just an honest opinion from someone who has owned a lot of consoles:

PSX
PS2 Slim
PS3 60GB
PS3 Slim
PSP
PSP Slim
PS Vita
PS4 Slim
PS4 Pro

NES
Gameboy
N64
3DS
Wii
Wii U
Switch

Xbox (a few)
Xbox 360 (a few)
Xbox One (Still have 2)
Xbox One X

That's the question.
Ps4 and XOne have years around (1 year released after Wii u) and those consoles are not hacked yet (I mean playing backups and all that things)
Wii: 2006. Hacked 2008
Ps3: 2006. Hacked 2010.

Wii U: 2012. Hacked 2015.
Ps4: 2013. Not hacked.
XOne: 2013. Not hacked.

3DS: 2011. Hacked 2013 (Gateway)
PsVita: 2012. Hacked 2016

Switch: 2017. Hacked 2018 (Team Xecuter?)

The difference is obvious. Nintendo's consoles are always the first being hacked.
And that's not all.
Hackers always find a way for hack the Nintendo consoles. You can hack any Nintendo Fw version (3ds: 11.6/last version hacked. wii: 4.3/last version hacked. wii u: 5.5.2/last version...hacked).
In Sony or MS consoles you need to be in a specific FW version.

Even Ps4 or XOne, that have more sells than Wii U aren't hacked! Wii U that may have the half of all the Ps4 sells is already hacked! That's nuts!

And that's my question.

I'm a big Nintendo fan, but I don't like the "let's hack Nintendo first' idea...

The Wii was hacked in 2007 , wiikey team modchip came out in may 2007 just to let u know ..beta testers had it before may ..

Yes, I had overlooked this, but IIRC that was a very limited exploit that was fairly involved compared to others and has not been possible to do on a new console in a long time(ten years?). Also, isn't there still an active soft mod exploit for the lastest Wii U and PS3 software? Pretty telling in terms of security chops IMO. Not to mention the Switch is permahacked. Microsoft just does security better.

The Dreamcast needed a disc swap, it was called the Utopia Boot CD, it showed a semi transparent reindeer with antlers rotating on the screen. Later, they managed to squeeze that into a self booting disc, back when disc juggler was the standard. The self booting portion exasperated a storage space issue for larger games like Skies of Arcadia, which already utilized a custom form of compression to attempt to fit it onto normal CD's instead of GD's. The PSX and PS2 both had boot CDs, the PSX had a rumored boot disc and people called BS for many years, and then one day when the Playstation was old, PSXChange came out.

Less secure.

Nintendo actually did well with the Switch, but Nvidia made all their efforts pointless.

Yeah, and given the exploit is out now, Nvidia and Nintendo are both accelerating hardware revisions. Switch XL anyone?

Makes sense, but I don't think they would leave the OG Switch on an island. I feel pretty good about hanging onto this one.

I don't know where the hell you got 2015 for the Wii U. We completely owned it in 30 days (after the european release).

Edit: oh, you meant warez. Yeah, fuck you.
