What determines how quickly a console is hacked tends to be how profitable it would be to hack that console. Things that impact how profitable it would be to sell a mod chip for the PS3 are:
I'm certain there are others, but any three of these are enough reasons to keep interest in piracy very low on the PS3. |
I agree with all your points except the "small userbase" arguement. Userbase is usually a non-factor as hacking usually even opens the door to more consumers lol. Also the very fact that no hack exists in any form for the ps3 at present means zero competition so a chip would definitely be worth it at present. However, the costs of the other factors you mention makes anyone who considers buying a ps3 modchip hack at this point...not too smart.
