If they work really hard to prevent piracy it will take pirates 2 hours instead of 1 to break the system. (Sadly not much of an exaggeration.)

This...ok, this might be a bit of an exaggeration :P...I mean, it could take them a few days or weeks, heck even months...but they always find a way to crack these systems, people who think Nintendo and other companies will be able to stop piracy next gen are only fooling themselves.

Sony says hi :).

the ps3 hasnt been hacked and will not be hacked mark my words. I am not a sony fan but thats one of the best things that happened to the industry. the ps3 not being hackable has brought hope of a piracy free system and hopefully next generation microsoft and nintendo will have pirateproof system like sony.

The two factors that delayed the hacking were the Blu-Ray disc (few people have the bandwidth to download many 25GB games, the burners were expensive, and the discs were not cheap) and the PS3 was initially not popular enough to justify exerting much effort to hack it. If a system is complicated enough to hack and requires a hardware modification only a very small portion of the userbase will ever bother to hack it; and until the userbase grows to a level where you (as one of a dozen companies that will hack it) can sell hundreds of thousands of mod-chips there isn’t any incentive to hack it.
