Not at all. It's an easily fixable issue with some alcohol, a cotton swab, and about 5-10 minutes of cleaning.
As people have mentioned:
* SNES oxidation (Not sure what this is about, but something did happen to my SNES where the switches became very tight to move until they no longer functioned)
* N64 analog stick disintegration leading to powdery white gunk looseness and unresponsiveness - went through about a dozen N64 controllers as a result of this; and while I did fix a few, usually I broke the controller permanently (because the fix is invasive) and others fixed did not function the same as they used to.
* NES cartridges having lots of trouble connecting to the system (this is why people think blowing on them helps).
* NES and some SNES save capability permanently breaking (not one of my old NES games can save anymore, they stopped doing so over 20 years ago)
And let's not forget this shit:
Floppy 3DS top screen
The bottom of the 3DS biting into the top screen.
The whole idea that Nintendo's hardware is some kind of sacred durable and high-quality perfection is frankly: BULLSHIT. Nintendo has had issues on nearly every console and handheld they've ever released.
