Hanging around this site, you can be fooled into thinking "custom firmwares" are a ubiquitous thing. But, in reality there haven't been all that many, especially if you consider true CFW not just some sort of homebrew enabler.
What do you think was the first proper CFW, and how many can you even name in total (that aren't just derivative works)?
I think my first experience was on the PSP when Dark Alex burst onto the scene. After that, probably 3DS, PS3 and Wii U (if that counts as a CFW). Not sure if I'm forgetting any other systems.
But yeah, if you count them up then you could say CFW is actually a pretty rare thing.
