I guess it's kind of redundant and obvious for me to state that this usually happens when a console has a really high user base. Like when the SNES was released, Nintendo still supported the NES until like 1995 (and something crazy like 2000 in Japan ... though I might be wrong on that).

They ceased service of the NES in 2007.

 

wtf! thats insane! are you sure?

Yes: 

"Nintendo of Japan continued to repair Famicom systems until October 31, 2007, attributing the decision to discontinue support to an increasing shortage of the necessary parts." ~ Wikipedia NES
