The Wii homebrew community is one of the biggest console-hacking communities out there. There is just so much you can make the Wii do when homebrewed. Do you want to play DVDs? Sure. How about playing popular fan-made mods of games like Smash Bros.? You can do that, too. Do you want to play pirated games? Screw you! The “Golden Rule” of legal homebrewing is that you should never mess with profitability: never do it for profit or do anything that cuts into the profit of the original company. Apparently, this is a rule that two men In Fukuoka have never heard of. Tomonori Sato and his brother were running a rather lucrative business, selling modded Wiis for a marked up price. It’s estimated that they sold nearly five hundred modded Wiis for nearly 200,000 dollars. That means they were selling each Wii for about 400 dollars, just for the homebrew functionality.
