Since the Saturn? I don't think I have many problems.
- SNES - It only recently stopped working, though it still kind of works.
- PS1 - Still works fine
- Dreamcast - Still works fine
- PS2 - Works about 60% of the time, the other 40% I get the red screen and I just have to restart a few times to fix it.
- Xbox - Worked fine
- Gamecube - Worked fine and I even dropped it a few times.
- Xbox 360 #1 - Dead out of the box, returned it and got it good and going within 30 minutes of unboxing the first one.
- Xbox 360 #2 - Worked fine for 2-3 years but it was louder than a jet engine. Eventually traded it and got one with an HDMI port.
- Xbox 360 #3 - Still works fine and quiet as a mouse
- Xbox 360 S (bonus from work) - Works fine
- PS3 #1 (80GB BC model) - Still works, though it often loses connectivity with Blue Tooth devices and it's a pain to get them to connect again. Also, it's louder than my loud 360 ever was.
- PS3 #2 (40GB - bonus from work) - Never unboxed it, returned it for store credit
- PS3 Slim - Works fine
- Wii #1 - Works fine, though I haven't touched it in probably a year. I think The Wife uses it occassionaly.
- Wii #2 (won was a prize) - It worked but I sold it. It was a pain in the ass though because it was used and had a password set on it and in order to sell it I had to reset that password which required jumping through a lot of hoops.
So all in all I've had good luck. I haven't had any consoles actually die on me other than the one 360 that was dead out of the box (DVD drive error) but everything else has been fine.
