How much do you think Nintendo systems would sell if they were as of high quality as early 360's/PS3's/PS's?

Nintendo systems have far and away the best quality ratings.

their systems are amazing. my gameboy still works! but so does my PS1, i would say sony systems arent far behind. 

My SNES still works great, i wouldn't want to count the miles on that thing.  Knock on wood, none of my systems have ever failed, and that includes 4 Nintendos, 2 XBoxes and 3 Playstations.  Statistically speaking, however, I guess market research for the current gen had Wii fail rates at less than 5% while PS3 was at around 10%.  XB360 was at a dismal 20% during RROD, but after that was fixed it went down to a more respectible and PS3-like 10%.  Some anylists point to Nintendo using older, more proven tech in their systems, but some of their systems have been more state-of-the-art than Wii was.  Who knows, but even the GC had rock-solid reliability with fail rates less than half of competitors.

i agree, they always make reliable systems whether they were technicially week systems like the Wii or WiiU or strong ones like GC and n64. also didnt the 360 have a 30%+ failure rate? 

You could be right, I'm pulling those numbers out of my head.  I did find the stats a while back, and I think it was what i wrote but I could be wrong. 360 was definitely way higher than acceptible. I can't believe people would buy a system with a 1/5 chance of failing.  I did pick one up, but only after the reliability was improved substantially.
