I've never had a console break before. Controllers are a different story...
ps2/ps3/360 have die on me. 360 have the record for 4 months of durability though
The fastest one to die was the compact redesign of the orginal Playstation, which I only had a little over a week. I had two others die on me but they lasted a while. Only went through three PS2 consoles (though one I lost because an ex-friend of mine sold it for drugs along with 100+ games that I lent him while he was recovering after he broke his leg.). I'm still on my original gamecube, Wii and Wii U. I went through five 360 but most lasted several months before dying. I only had one Xbox.
All my cart systems that I didn't take apart for science (RIP my 2600) work. Even the one where my little brother dumped over a gallon of cheep orange soda on still works. (It was an SNES and WalMart use to carry there old 5-liter bottle of their cheap soda. We thought it was gonner and bought another one but we tried it power it up a few months latter and it worked.<Wanted to play a different game, and two people in the house where pack rats.>)
my Xbox 360 broke 3 times, but my dreamcast is damaged after i used it for 3 month but that because i didn't use a power adapter , LOl my own mistake.
My launch 360 died around 2 years in from rrod, and I tossed it in storage and bought a new one, 60gb launch ps3 died about 5 years in, same deal for storage, last year Tamron revived them both on a reballing station, used leaded solder balls on a bga stencil, for GPUs, CPUs, memory, and the ANNA/HANNA chips on the 360, both now work flawlessly.
New consoles that had high nm interconnects generated a lot of heat, heat + RoHS solder = failure.
Ironically I still have my launch day ps1 and 20 years on (wow I feel old) it still runs fine.
Every console I've owned (all playstation) so far I've given away before it broke down, so at present my number of broken consoles is zero.

For me, only my Gamecube and 360 have stopped working. There are still working consoles from the 80s and 90s in my house.
