Will the Switch 2 be Nintendo's first unhackable console?

How do you even approach a hack on a security chip that has hardware and software mitigations on pretty much all conventional attacks?

It will probably be like Xbox One, where we still can't do most of the things we'd like to.

yea

nah, someone will definitely find a vulnerability sooner or later, maybe not in the software, but in the hardware instead

Not in the software this time? The Switch 1 doesn't have a vulnerability in its software.

yes, it will not be hacked, maybe not in the first 2 years
after 3 years maybe with hardware mod.

I mean, you already have the Dev Mode, games are extremely cheap, and there's the GamePass so there's hardly any point to pirating/hacking it.
