As much as I was a Sega fanboy back in the day I went through over 10 DC's before I finally gave up on the thing after about a decade of using the system. They always get the same two issues where they stop reading the discs or controller input. The only Nintendo console I've ever had break were DS units. I went through three so far and need a 4th. The hinges on both the Lite and original system are terribly made. I'm still using my original Xbox after about 13 years but I've never had a 360 last more than a year, it's the main reason I'll never buy a MS console again. Sony and Nintendo in general seem to make machines that rarely break.
