So let me tell you guys the story that gave me this idea. I went out to get my Wii U like a week ago, I hooked it all up and I got the blinking blue light of death, I've never heard of this so I thouht it must be rare, so I googled it to see if there were any solutions and I found countless forum of people with the same problem asking for help. Luckily I was able to trade it in for another one and that one has been working fine. There has also been the problem with Wii Us brinking and I started thinking Nintendo consoles have had the best track record of lasting a long time out of the big 3 and now idk what happened with the Wii U. Even the 3DS, now I've never dropped my 3DS, but I hear people saying if you do drop it, it will break no doubt, the console is really fragile. I have dropped my DS a few times and it still works perfectly to this day.
Even last gen with the PS3 and 360 they had the worst failure rates of any consoles of all time. So it begs the question are consoles getting more and more undependable? Personally I never buy consoles at launch, I always wait at least a year in case of any hardware problems, and I'm especially waiting for the PS4 and X1 considering the track record of their previous consoles. So what do you guys think, are consoles just not made the way they used to be?
