Nonsense - Nintendo’s OS, according to reverse engineers, is currently bulletproof. The contributor who rewrote the entire kernel, and secure monitor, as open source said they have “zero bugs”… in 2020. The problem was NVIDIA’s boot code and inability to detect glitching; but the OS design was impeccable.

Now that the Switch 2 inherits NVIDIA’s completely redesigned boot processor with formal verification, written in entirely memory-safe languages used for rockets and trains (ADA SPARK), with lockstep booting (two cores executing instructions simultaneously and verifying their work), and voltage monitoring / glitch detection as the cherry on top; Switch 2 won’t be cracked in the next decade, possibly two.



Honestly the Switch 2 and PS5 bring nothing valuable to the table!

Maybe that's why they wont get hacked.
