The Wii was my first game system since the NES when I was 9. I have never followed the hacking seen but I have been here for most of the Wii's progression of anti piracy and hacking around them. Out of the gate the Wii seemed real essay for hackers to circumvent the anti piracy layers of the system. Then Nintendo cut the pins to the chip that made it possible to Mod Chip the Wii. Next they made new chips with no internal pin connections. Mod-Chip manufacturers went to a simple mod chip to a more complicated one. Then somewhere hacker found the soft-mod possibilities. Well you all know what the Wii went through. Does Nintendo and the other big system really not care about overprotecting their system for the first release. In realality you have to buy their system to hack it. Only after council sale drop do they start to feel the pinch when many are not buying the software.

What I'm asking When the next Gen system hit the shelve will the hacking seen pick up from where we are now battling the next anti piracy attempts? Or will they have it easy at first?

Tough to say. As of the moment hackers are having a tough time with the new 4.3. Nintendo don't seem to be progressing very much in terms of better features, they just seem determined to stop hackers at the moment. In Australia a guy was sued by Nintendo for damages & loss for leaking NSMB Wii to the internet ahead of scheduled release. My guess would be Nintendo will do what they did with the wii: Spend a lot of time making their new console hack-proof, only to have it hacked again. There will always be people who are able to hack consoles, although it will take a while to hack the new one.

Seems to me Sony did a pretty good job. Last I knew the PS3 hasn't been hacked yet... right?

Sony make a loss on every PS3 they sell, they make the profit on selling the software, hence they need to SELL the software not have it pirated. Nintendo make a profit (however small at times) on each Wii they sell so the priacy is not such a big issue, it is the 3rd party software companies that really hate the piracy

I think that if a system comes with a detachable HDD or a USB port, then you are always asking for someone to hack your system just to push thier buttons.
Does anybody remember how hard it was to hack a PSX. Has anyone ever hacked a N64 since their HDD never was officially released in the States?
