Of course, Sony consoles are reliable, have a giant library with a lot of quality games distributed in a wide variety of genres that easily appeal to all ages. Its the whole package, its hard to leave behind a product that good. Either way, in every gen since the ps1 I've always had a Playstation and another console (usually from Nintendo) since Ive always felt - In my personal experience - console wars are moronic, you miss on a lot when you marry yourself to a brand/platform.

First gen PS1 had overheating issues. PS2 disc drives broke all the time. PS3 had some YLOD issues.  By PS3 reliability became better but you can't skip over fact PS2 broke all the damn time.  I know plenty people bought multiple PS2.  Why do you think sales are so high for it?

My first PS1 developed a problem with the laser, so I had to buy another one. After that, no problems with the next iterations. I don't remember any widespread issues being reported here in Europe at the time of those consoles. Maybe we got a different batch over here or something?
