I think it is a recent thing. I have owned quite a few consoles since the 5200 myself. The only consoles I have ever had brick on me were the PS3 and the 360. It is cause they (the builder) are sacrificing stability and longevity for price. It is all about the money. Plus they figure they don't need to make them last forever. The consoles will be outdated in 7 to 10 years. Yes Sony your 10 year plan is crap. You were going to replace it by then anyway.
