My SNES (1997-1998) just stopped functioning after 2-3 years with it.

My PS1 (1999-2002) stopped working when it started scratching discs.

My first PS2 (2002-2003) broke when someone walking in front of me tripped with the controller cable and made the console fall to the floor. GTA III was inside and the door jammed. My second PS2 (2003-2004) had the disk read error. My third PS2, which was a Slim (2004-2006) started scratching discs after a while. I don't know if my fourth one (2006-2012) still works. I had to put some weight on top of the door for the console to read discs. I really wish I knew where to buy a PS2 in good conditions, though.

My first PS3 (2009-2011) got the YLOD. I was lucky to remove all my data. My second PS3, which was the Slim (2011-2012) died by a stupid mistake from me: as I was moving it from room to room, it feel off my hands as I was about to pick up a falling controller. The motherboard cracked. My third PS3, the Super Slim (2012-present), is doing good for now. On hot days, the fan goes from normal to loud to vibrating jet turbine loud in 3 seconds. On jet turbine, the console turns extremely slow and almost unresponsive.

Looking back, even if I was careful with my consoles, I might've been a bit careless with them.
