All the major game console makers try their best to lock down the hardware, and they don’t take kindly to people working to circumvent their systems. Microsoft had its program against mod chips, Nintendo gets hackers locked up , and Sony had a high-profile case against noted hacker George Hotz in the PS3 era.
