I still believe it will take a while for the hack to be available to the public. I mean the 3DS has already been hacked (they were able to remove the region lock plus some other stuff), but it can brick your console if you use the hack.
However I'm surprised how the 3DS looks like it has been a lot harder to hack than the Wii U. Even now we are just starting to see hackers making progress with the 3DS but Wii U has moved pretty fast, we might see a full working hack by the end of this year or next year. This might be just a matter of interest though, hackers just may find the Wii U more interesting than the 3DS.
