Anything can be done. But once you put a limit on something, the chances are lowered.

The term you're looking for is "domain". And no, he did not. Specifications on the system are scant, and at this point, all it seems to be is an upgraded Wii. When homebrew development becomes a distinct possibility, so will purchasing another domain.

Catch my drift.
