I remember when MS tried to say they had a sub-10% defect rate on X360s (truth was >30% of initial versions)... point is you have to wait for launch to be done with to really see anything.

My lack of faith in anyone but Nintendo is why I only buy Nintendo day one. 6 generations of home consoles and always the lowest defect rate in a gen.

Probably the smartest thing.  Both Sony and Microsoft have had atrociously bad launches and hardware in he past.  PS2 and Xbox 360 were both terrible. 

I swear I always think my Phat PS3 is going to die.

When I had a phat360 I also thought it would die and as soon as the phat 360 had its first freeze I sold it and bought a slim. Im not so nervous anymore but still a bit  :(

After my phat PS2 died (disk read error) and the news about the RROD and YLOD....  Sony and Microsoft products make me nervous... (my PS2 slim is the only Sony consoles that doesnt because its made to last)

On the other hand I am completely fine with my WiiU even when I find out that it is running for 3 days non stop because my 2 year old nephew (who came for a visit) tuned it on without me noticing. 
(maybe because even today my NES is working and my sister dropped my Gamecube from the table and it still works. It landed on one of its corners Its not a cube anymore because it now has 10 instead of 8 corners.)

I once worried about my Wii. It sometimes sounds like its vibrating when a disk is inside. But then I hacked it and no need to use the drive anymore. problem solved.
