A ps3 from 2008 that I abused and kept on for tens of hours. Possibly because most of my library is digital.

I'm not as old as some of users in this thread, however I bought a used NES for almost nothing and it still works, but I only use it to hide my stash now because emulators.

Gamecube since 2001 and counting. I pre-ordered it with Luigi and Rogue Leader :). Only had to change the controller once.

Every one of them. I never had a console, including any handheld, permantly break on me. And even then the only console that ever broke at all was my PS3 (YLoD due to overheating), which I fixed easily.

I never understand how a lot of you always break their systems. These things don't just die on their own, seems to me, so it must be you guys!

I still have consoles from 1977 that work perfectly fine to this day without having needed any kind of maintenance whatsoever for the last 40 years.

Though I did once get a second G7000 just to take it and my original one apart to swap around some components. I took the best and cleanest controllers (are hardwired), best performing video chip (strangely had noticable differences in image quality between systems), nicest looking case, you name it, to make myself an "ultimate" version so to speak. The one with all the "bad" parts also still functions properly

My oldest is my Sega Genesis, in fact I'm gonna pull it out for a Gunstar Heroes run in a few days.

Alternatively, the only console I have that doesn't work 100% properly is my PSP. It was dropped too often, so now the UMD drive sometimes skips and reboots. Other than that, though, all of my systems are in perfect working order (Genesis, Dreamcast, Game Gear, PSV, PS3 Phat, PS4, XB1, Wii, Wii U).

I have a gameboy pocket that still works. I play tetris on it from time to time.

Although not originally mine I have an Intellivision that is about 35 years old, good working condition although I had to splice a coax cable to get it to work on my hd tv.

I've still got my Mega Drive I had in 1996 which works fine.

Meanwhile he "advanced" PS3 has broken 3 times since 2007.

N64 (20 years)

GBC (18 years)

GBA (13 years)

PS2 (8 Years)

PS3 (6 years)

PS4 ( 1.5 years)

The only systems I had that died was my Gameboy SP and NDS.

I still have my Gameboy Color, and N64 from when they came out and both work flawlessly.
I sold my SNES in 2011 but it still worked and i have had it up to that point from '95.

Cant say the same for Microsoft or Sony consoles.
My launch ps1 and ps2 both broke within 6 months.
and my xbox 360 had a red ring after 1 year.

You can easily change the cartrdige connector on the NES and it's advised to clean the rust on the cartridges with some special chemical products sold just for NES games. That's what I did on my 60hz region unlocked NES and most of my games. Now all my games work perfectly the first time, no need to blow on the connectors.

When you blow on the connectors it adds water (which can help for the electrical connection) but it increases the rust process and further damage the cartridges connectors... Don't do it.

Anyways, my older console is probably my japanese N64 I bought no longer after japanese launch (maybe 19 years ago). It was a tank. It even survived a whole night under the rain.  But unfortunately I broke it trying to add RGB output... how stupid!
