We'll start with the present and work our way back. Speaking only of hardware issues:
-Xbox 360 60gb: Had major trouble reading discs. Microsoft fixed it for free, though. Problems arose late last year but seem to have corrected themselves somehow.
-Xbox 360 20gb: Red Ring of Death. Also had a disc read problem. I decided to sell it and buy another 360.
-Nintendo DS Lite: The power just quit coming on. Maybe it was just a loose battery. I don't know. I haven't seen it in a couple of years. I usually take a damaged system and open it up to see what I can do. It disappeared before I ever took the time to work on it. I still count it whenever I tell people I have six DS's (three phats, two lites, and a DSi, though).
-Nintendo DS Phat: Three DS Phats, three broken hinges.
-Gamecube: Disc drive was dying. It only read the games half the time. I sold it to my co-worker for $50 and tricked him into thinking he broke it when he dropped it in the back seat of his car.
-PS2: First and second ones quit reading discs. Third one worked great. I gave it to my sister.
-PS1: First one, the spindle thingy in the middle where you place the disc fell the fuck off. What the fuck?
-PS1: Second one, it just lost its will to live. First, it had to stand on its side to play games. Later, I had to turn it totally upside down for it to play games. Then, it just quit reading games at all. It literally went "belly up".
-Nes: Had to blow in it to get games to work sometimes. It would probably still work if I didn't destroy it on purpose, one day. Boys will be boys.
My oldest console is a clear Gameboy that still works despite having some sort of liquid dried inside of it. I think it's soda. My Snes and N64 still work to this day, too. I guess, the more our system do, the easier they are to break.
