I guess I know quite a few people who do, including less technically inclined people. HDTV adoption rate is skyrocketing and HD DVD/ BD player prices are sinking like a rock.
To answer the question....
N64 - cartridges
GC - had trouble recovering from N64.
Wii - HDTV rate is adopting very quickly (don't know if this is a weakness yet)
Xbox - SHOOTERS, SHOOTERS, SHOOTERS, SHOOTERS, SHOOTERS. At least that was the reputation. Appealed to American Violence-loving male demographic. Didn't go to well in Japan.
Xbox 360 - Red Ring of Death. Trying to get Japan Back.
PS2 - Disc Read Error
PS3 - "Welcome to the Sony Country Club. By the way, Europe, We hate you."
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
