I had nothing but Nintendo consoles until the PS1. It died a slow death, first having to be laid on its side and finally upside down to play. My second PS1 had the little disc holdy spindle thing fall off for no reason.
Next up was the PS2. Disc read error until it finally quit working. I got another that had the same problem but I learned how to go inside of it and fix it. One day, I forgot that I had all of the screws taken out of it and went to pick it up. The wires got yanked out of the motherboard and the console was dead.
I decided that $600 was to much to spend on being Sony's guinea pig for testing new hardware so I got a 36T in January 2007. That mother fucker died the day I bought mass effect! Sent it to M$ for repairs and it lasted until the day I bought Mass Effect 2!! Then it died again! I sold it for credit to but a Jasper... Which later had a disc tray problem but it got fixed for free.
I got a 80 GB mgs4 ps3 in 2008. It lasted until the day I bought MGS Rising. The console for doing the game install.
I also had a bad ruin of Nintendo D's consoles because my daughter is the harbinger of death.
I burned through 2 PS1s. The rails went out. You could make it run a little longer by putting it on its side or upside down, but eventually it would die. I eventually got my mitts on a PSOne and it still runs to this day. I burned through 2 PS2s (the old fat ones) too. After that I refused to get another PlayStation product. Then I went 360 and got burned anyway lol.
None, ever. Though it has been a while since I last started up my PS1, so maybe it won't, but nah I'm 99% sure it will.
Technically though, my PS3 broke a year or 2 ago. A launch 60GB, it YLoD'ed. However, I fixed it and works like a charm if you ignore that it sounds like it's going to explode. But I'm not counting that because it has a second life so, no, none ever.
My SNES (1997-1998) just stopped functioning after 2-3 years with it.
My PS1 (1999-2002) stopped working when it started scratching discs.
My first PS2 (2002-2003) broke when someone walking in front of me tripped with the controller cable and made the console fall to the floor. GTA III was inside and the door jammed. My second PS2 (2003-2004) had the disk read error. My third PS2, which was a Slim (2004-2006) started scratching discs after a while. I don't know if my fourth one (2006-2012) still works. I had to put some weight on top of the door for the console to read discs. I really wish I knew where to buy a PS2 in good conditions, though.
My first PS3 (2009-2011) got the YLOD. I was lucky to remove all my data. My second PS3, which was the Slim (2011-2012) died by a stupid mistake from me: as I was moving it from room to room, it feel off my hands as I was about to pick up a falling controller. The motherboard cracked. My third PS3, the Super Slim (2012-present), is doing good for now. On hot days, the fan goes from normal to loud to vibrating jet turbine loud in 3 seconds. On jet turbine, the console turns extremely slow and almost unresponsive.
Looking back, even if I was careful with my consoles, I might've been a bit careless with them.


PS2/PS1 - I imagine the Scanning Lasers for both of them is messed up since they have been collecting dust for about 10 years.
360 - Original Elite RROD, Microsoft warranty covered it
Everything else works.

I don't know, I sold them.
Chances are my MegaDrive is defunct by now, I had two N64s as I sold one then decided to buy another... but I will probably die before them.

36T? Jasper? What are these consoles? |
You try typing on a touchscreen while driving!
Jasper is the 3rd Xbox revision, though. Not a typo
