What is reasonable for a console's level of durability?
- Should it be able to not break within 10 years of purchase with no movement other than its original setup? Iffy but I'll say yes, but if it's habit of breaking in the 5% ratio, then I'll understand it not lasting for more than 10 years.
- Should it be able to survive a fall (or 4) off a low shelf? A high shelf? Low shelf with a few bumps, yes. High shelf....I don't think so maybe one drop and everything's normal
- Should its cords be able to survive runaway gerbils/hamsters/guinea pigs? This sounds like a good idea
- Should it be able to survive soda being poured/splashed onto it? No, TV's or Comp's be break if soda gets inside which happens, shouldn't expect to have a "water-sealed" console if more expensive stuff doesn't have it either.
- Should it be able to survive being kicked? Yes but I wouldn't expect it to survive a soccer player's kick, like he has a free kick
- Should it be able to take a bullet for you? Would be cool but, no it shouldn't have to.

This is pretty much what I was thinking, although the PS3 should survive the pop/water splash since it is domed after all.
