Consoles and Durability: Ever Have Any Console Break On You?

It's kinda weird seeing that so many people have had so many hardware failures myself and a few friends along with my entire family have never had a single console fail since owning Master Systems / NES. Mine/family's console's were played 8+ hours daily across many years back when the entire family was using them at different times of the day as well so they got some serious usage and a lot more than most would of.

The only breakage I that happened was a friend dropping his PS2 down the stairs but thats a different story lol.

Must have good luck in this neck of the woods lol.

I am just very unlucky with PS2s I tell ya..! I take care of my consoles.. @_@

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.

Dang, I would have stopped after the 3rd. Luckily my DC still lives and functions well.

I took incredible care of my consoles but a few still broke.

I like to think I took care of all my consoles, and yet I still had 2 PS2s break on me. The 3rd is  acting up as well...
