I wonder what's going to happen with the PSP. Mine is modded, and there's not a game I can't play.
Drew, do you remember Hotline?
Hotline? I might need a reminder ... this doesn't quite ring a bell. :thinking:
The Dreamcast hacking was so widely known that it killed the system. The PS2 did it's fair share of damage, but no Dreamcast owner bought games.
The PSP, Wii, 360, and PS3 are very safe. You can hack those machines, but it involves a heck of alot more than burning a cd. I'd say that the NDS is in trouble too ... but the console expands over so many demographics. Ask any male, 18 to 30 what an "R4" is and they'll tell you. Ask an 8 year old boy ... nothing. Ask a 21 year old girl .. nothing.
The Dreamcast had a narrow target market (18+ year old male) ... when that group figured out how to hack ... it was over.
