The first versions of non-Nintendo consoles are always bad.

[S.Peelman]

The only console I ever had a technical problem with that resulted from a design flaw was the YLOD on my launch PS3. I could fix it myself though but I never really trusted it afterwards. It had sounded like a jet engine for years. My PS1 had issues reading discs, it would take a couple of resets, but it was probably because of something that went wrong with modding it to play pirated games (yes, we did that back then) so it was our fault.

I never had a problem with any other console of any other maker whatsoever and the all still work perfectly to this day. Maybe I’d have to blow in an NES cartridge at times but nothing more.

As a side note; My 3DS doesn’t have scratches on the screen, which as far as I’m concerned is just false. It doesn’t happen. I’ve slammed it shut as hard as the next guy but nothing. There can be lines on the top screen sure, but those are just dirt and can be wiped off. Maybe people just need to clean their 3DS’s for once. Also reading about the Switch ‘warping’. What do you have to do to get something like that? I’ll never understand how people manage to break their stuff. Like bending iPhones. I sit on mine all the time and all versions I had are still as flat as a pancake. How heavy do you have to be?!
