Pretty much, if you provide what people want elsewhere you will reduce the demand to crack the original system.

One of the reasons the Wii U was slow to be hacked was because Android TV boxes had come along plus things like Ouya/Nvidia shield, and it basically took away a lot of demand for a console turned into TV unit to use hacked software.

It still happened but not so quiclkly. Not like the original Wii which didnt really have much similar to it at the time.
