I don't know. Android has been around for quite a long time, and piracy on mobile devides is easy. The only reason mobile piracy isn't more widespread is because most users go for the freemium or really don't put that much time on those devices anyway, so why bother? A gaming console/handheld is something interesting to hack, because the investment and the reward (in terms of money saved) is important, way bigger than the saving you could do on mobile devices.
I fear that, if this is true, the NX could become the next PSP. Selling a lot of hardware, but really easy to hack and patch, hurting software sales a lot, EXACTLY what Nintendo needs the least.
