It will be hacked before Summer 2007. The top console always gets the modchip first. and by the looks of the hype, the Wii will take a big chunk of the market pretty fast. I'm here in Mexico and pre-orders are already gone, and the console costs $400 bucks and will raise to $500 due to high demand. Nothing lke that has happened since Super Mario Bros 3 back in the day. In the end, mod chips help sell hardware since mostly hardcore gamers get modchips and those guys are the cheapest bastards ever who wouldn't buy the thing to pay for software, but think about it, Nintendo says the DS software sales get a 5% hit due to piracy but their portable console sells like crazy...
I most likely wont pirate the wii but the xbox 360.. lolI'm not buying a Wii until there is a "solution" for it. I just hope what ever solution is found is as good as the options we have for the DS.
Nothing is hack proof. Nothing.
Nothing is hack proof. Nothing.
Except maybe the DS Opera browser :/
Bah.. companies don't lose much revenue through piracy. I have the impression that the ones who download stuff (me) aren't potential customers anyway (I'm often not). Many (not everyone) even buy the stuff they like.
I hope they pirate they wiimote though, and the nu-chuk, because they're damn expensive
