Haha. You’re bringing up tech from 20 years ago when we’re discussing modern security measures, aren’t you very clever.

What hardmods do you know of for current gen consoles? Even the previous generation mostly fixed all public hardware based attacks.

This is standardized hardware that would be a relatively soft target to build tooling against, yet modchips are essentially dead because the attacks are just far too difficult.

This is pretty confusing, hardmods are definitely a thing for the current gen Switch - AFAIK it's the only way to jailbreak ones that were manufactured after some date and don't allow soft mods.
Nintendo famously has the worst security of all the console manufacturers.

That there are still no good attacks for the xbox one speaks volumes.
