Back in the day, I remember how bad the news was for a machine. But Microsoft managed to make loyal fanbase, even more than Sony and Nintendo, who continuously defended the system.

there are more sony and nintendo defenders on this site and everywhere else

But I am not sure if Sony or Nintendo fans ever defended a faulty machine.

My ps2 broke 2 times i stayed loyal so as my 360 did.

All my friends Ps2 and 360 actually broke more than once so Ps2 had its problems aswell over here so did 360 but Ps3 not so much.

Man you must have gotten a rly bad PS2 lol. None of the consoles I have ever owned broke since original nintendo until this generation. All the consoles I have owned this generation, my consoles have broke. Reason I am more disappointed in this generation then others.

The very first PS2's actually had a significant issue, a minor fix but after about 2 years of use they were all destined to have their laser heights off balance. They added a securing plastic tab to later models to prevent it. I had a PS2 that lasted 3 years and it had this problem, after attempting to readjust the height to allow for games to work a few times it eventually wouldn't read anything no matter where I placed it. I did end up buying a PS2 a few years ago since the newer PS3 models ditched backwards compatibility.
