PS3: OtherOS allowed unsigned code, way before piracy.
Wii: Team Twiizers, who are strongly anti-piracy, were the first to run unsigned code. This was later abused for piracy, but only after Nintendo refused to work with them to fix the issue.
Xbox 360: Don't know much about this. You might be right here.
Drivechips aren't "hacking" in any way comparable to what fail0verflow, Team Twiizers, or any other group accomplished.
I never said that running 1:1 backups is anything near the accomplishments in other instances. I am not the one trying to make a strong claim here. Anyone saying 'let people run linux on it or they will hack it, which leads to piracy' is basing that argument on the sole data point of the PS3. That is a terrible argument.
