Nintendo "laughed their assess off" when Microsoft tried to acquire the company in 2000

I have no idea what you just said.  "Anyone can pull 1 bad system...."  Do you think the 360 was a bad system or a great one?  Does this mean all other Xboxes where better than the 360?

It means, i can find a bad product or a troubled product from almost any brand and stat they make mistakes. They all do it.

My term bad is how you used the 360 in a bad or negative way over a temporary issue. However i personally felt the 360 is a great console. RROD has been none existent with all Xboxes except the launch 360s.

Nintendo has never made poor quality hardware.  Even on their systems that sold poorly, their hardware is built to last.  There are a lot of NES systems out there that still function just fine today.

Contrast this with the 360.  RROD lasted for years.  It wasn't a small issue.  I was present when a friend's console got the RROD.  This stuff was happened all the time.  If you were a gamer in the US then you either had a 360 with the RROD or knew someone who did.
