Have you ever switched your console allegiance mid-gen?

I'm a scientist.....I do that.

1. Get a Wii U when the games get good.

2. Get a PS4 when they make a redesign.

3. Get a NextBox just before then gen ends.

4. Enjoy games from all platforms

Well the Ps3/360 has a life spam of up to 3 years, and the PS Vita screen has a life spam of up to 3 -5 years.

The PS4 will break down like the PS3 did, but the NextBox might not have a short life spam, unlike the 360.

 

Personally my PS2 is still going strong.

I think as long as you don't get a first gen Sony, it will work for a long time. Two of my friends got the non backward compatible PS3's, just before the slim, and one guy plays more then me, and they are working fine.

But it has to be non-first gen, 1st gen PS2's had defective lasers which would go out of allignment after 2-3 years, and like you said Vita's screen eventually goes. My PSP already has screen issues and it's only 1 year old.

Also X-Box Lifespan is 1-3 years LOL

Nintendo though.....I haven't had any Nintendo product break on me, except a SNES controller, but not that I think about it, I think my sister spilled something on it.

You must be extremely unlucky.. I've never had any problems with Sony's 1st gen consoles.

My PS2 which I bought back in 2000 still works perfectly.
