If I decide to get a modchip, it will likely be so I can play GCN games I missed out on and can't find.
I wouldn't be surprised if I copied some Wii games too.
I have a policy about pirating...: If I wasn't going to buy it in the first place, it's all good. If I was; I'm an asshole who should be shot.
I'd even buy some games that I really like that I've pirated first (to show support for the company who made it).
For example, I wouldn't pirate MP3:C, because I was planning to buy it. Pirating something like Wario Ware, where I wouldn't even have touched it otherwise wouldn't seem like a problem to me. If it turns out I liked Wario Ware, I'd buy regardless if I had the pirated copy.
I'm not modding my Wii until I see what goes down in the next update though. That new message Nintendo gives before updating seems like a warning shot over our heads; especially when they tell you you can stop the update if need be.
By life end:
- Wii- 100 million+
- Xbox360- 35~40 million
- PS3- 30 million
- PSP- 30~32 million ------------- FAILURE
- NDS- 85~90 million (Skeptical) - FAILURE
- NDS- 100 million+ (Optimistic) -- Success!
