It seems Nintendo has finally caught on to the fact that people have been able to mod their wiis. In the new versions of the Wii they have blocked the current generation of chips by physically removing three connections which were used to connect the chip and allow it to hack the drive software.
It is probably only a matter of time before this is figured out as well.. but it looks like for now the best bet for homebrew and backups is having a first-gen Wii. For those of you who have one already, I am sure they will start going for a premium on ebay soon.
Comments (38)For those of you wanting to know how well the Wii is doing in Japan (or at least how bad the PS3 is selling) here are the sales numbers for this week. I don’t know why so many of us Wii fans want to see the PS3 fail, maybe its because its over-priced or over-hyped. Or its a David and Goliath thing.. all the PS3 fanboys knock the Wii.. The numbers don’t lie.
DS Lite 163,785
Wii 52,544
PSP 34,433
PS2 10,414
PS3 8,839
Xbox 360 2,105
