When it comes to hardware Sony has been kinda lousy, my PS1's Middle spindle broke off after about 7 years, which i guess is a long time, but my Atari 2600 has been working for close to 30 years, so i have high standards.
My 1st PS2 however broke after a year, i got a game brand new that had some sort of defect , it sounded funny when being played, and it broke something in the drive so that i could only play DVD based games, not CD based ones, if i played a CD games the system would no longer spin it up.
Eh, maybe I'm just used to the extended lives of Old School systems, but considering i have owned 2 ps1's and 2 PS2's that's a 50% failure rate for me which kinda gets my shorts in a bunch.
