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?

I went through two of the original PSXs - both with laser wear and tear/alignment issues, but my PS1 model still works to this day. Though I play PSX games on Vita these days.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
