Some are durable, my Gameboy still works with just some faulty lcd lines. Meanwhile this gen I have had problems with both my DS's: a DSLite which had a broken hinge that I replaced the whole housing myself and a DSi mysteriously stopped working - got no idea what happened to it. Plus a dusty Wii drive that doesn't let me play Smash. |
Every cycle has its bad apples. My Launch 360 and Wii still work fine. Same with our launch model PS3 we acquired recently. My Wii reads games fine. My DSi I sold my brother still works, my little brothers DS lite still works. A DS phat my friend gave me that she accidentally ran over with her car still works aside from needing a new battery. (No screen damage on it either just casing) and my 3ds is flawless so far (knock on wood) Then again I try to treat my hardware wonderfully. My GBA:SP works wonderful, my GBA color works like a charm (and it took some abuse) my GBA broke, but this was after letting my little brother borrow it a while back. You must of gotten unlucky. I've only had Sony consoles give me trouble. And those were Disc read issues thanks to their horrid disc drives on the PS1/PS2 and ultimately the PS3 shared the same issues. Obviously 360s had an extremely high failure chance out the gate so I happened to get lucky and kept my 360 cool enough. Every console run has its lemons. Though that being said I would trust dropping my GBA:SP on a hard surface, but not my 3ds if that gives you any example of the quality reduction.
