I was more worried that something could happen when I performed a factory reset, since I'd heard of a hack method that could brick the console in the process. Do you think it could be the case?
So I bought my first Wii U recently from a guy online and it arrived today, and on the surface it seemed like a vanilla console. Only games on it were 3D World and Nintendo Land, which both came with the console bundle. No CFW. No Homebrew Channel. No booting message. Clean vWii as well...
I went to a garage sell last saturday, and the lady had a PS2 for sale, but she had a sign on it that said "Nintendo -$50", had to laugh, almost bought but she didn't know if worked, and she didn't have controller or cables, so I passed.
