It's price in dollars / 100 = numbers of years without being hacked.

You heard it here first.

3DS certainly hasn't lasted very long, if you believe the claims of R4 and acecard, but (then again) security has never been Nintendo's strong suit.  


That rumour was proven false, no?

There is no way to play 3DS roms yet, but the R4 site claims that one is close.  Hopefully this is not true.  That's why I said, "if you believe...". 

I hope 3DS can hold out for a while.

With the PS3, Sony did a very good job on system security.  It may be hacked now, but it took an enternity (in hacking time) to do this.  However, with the PS3 compromised and with Android being the main OS, will NGP hold up for as long?  Nearly as long?

Depends on two things. Firstly, how secure Sony make it, which we can't really predict. Sony has shown themselves to be hit and miss with this.

 

Secondly, and much more importantly, it depends on how successful the NGP is. Being as there are dozens of threads calling for that prediction, it seems unnecessary here. If the NGP has the same degree of success as the PSP and PS3, it should remain unhacked for a fair while (assuming Sony doesn't completely mess up security on it) If it does become the market leader, then no amount of security will keep it safe for more than a couple of months maximum.

Nobody, it was just a rumor reported on many sites.  This was covered above.

Leaked prototypes?  Backwards Compatibility vectors?

Who knows if it is.  That's why I said "IF you believe..."
