Who seriously cares about the warranty? The wii is almost 2 years old now, and the warranty was 15 months max. millions of wiis are already out of warranty. The wii rarely breaks anyways. Plus, the wii itself is only 250 dollars. that is just 5 game backups. if it breaks you buy a new one. It's one paycheck or less.
but what is important is the data on the broken wii. That is the part that sucks. game saves need to be backed up. Miis need to be backed up and hacked to work on the new console. But what about your wii points, VC/wiiware titles, wii numbers and friend codes? Nothing that can be done about any of that though.
softmods don't kill consoles. How come everyone doesn't have a flashcart for the NDS? Even if you never pirate a game, people would like carrying ALL of there games on one card right? most people just don't know about these things, or don't bother.
what percent of wii owners even read websites like this? most people I have come across still think it's impossible to mod a gamecube.
the normal wii family isn't going to install a chip, but isn't going to pirate games with a softmod either. nintendo is in no danger.
