Have pirates given up on hacking and uploading for the PS3?

If the PS3 ever reaches mass market acceptance then I can gaurantee you it will be hacked overnight. As of now its simply not worth it to aggresively pursue a hack. It's not a question of will the PS3 be hacked its a question of when and if you think otherwise your just fooling yourself.

 

Excuse me? The 360 got hacked almost on day one when no one had it and it hardly had any market at all. Same for the Wii. Thinking piracy has anything to do with the size of the market is foolish. Soft mod hackers simply want to prove they can outsmart big companies with their hacks and hard mods like chips do it for the cash.

 

The PS3 has sold over 15 million untill now, and saying it is not mass accepted is just foolish.

 

The 360 was hacked on day one because people wanted to run Linux on it.

The PS3 is capable of running Linux on it now, so no need for further hacking.  If you couldn't run Linux on it, people would be hacking it more.

It's not just pirating that drives hacking, but also homebrew.
