However, only Xbox and a PS2 broke without knowing the cause.

My worst nightmare was with xbox 360, i got 3 RROD in 2 year.



SNES stopped working, Game Gear power issue, PS1 disc drive issues, and 360 red ring.

My family's original Wii stopped reading disks after six or something years of use. Eventually we just sold it, and I let them have mine. That one still works perfectly, I was even playing Wheel of Fortune with them when I went home for the holidays.

Only other console I had issues with is my original 3DS model. There are thin lines on the top screen from closing it over the raised touch screen, the L-button doesn't work, and the control pad is worn down from playing Smash Bros. Fortunately all of my games that require L are Circle Pad Pro compatible, but the physical damage is more than a little annoying. If NX turns out to be a console I'll probably get the New 3DS, since I still have so many games to play on it.

Nope.

I know at some point I bought a new GC but I don't remember anymore if the other one died or someone broke it or if it was used before or if I sold it.

PS1 - one broke
PS2 - three broke (I know people who had their 7th)
PS3 fat - one broke (well was more like dead/faulty on arrival lol)


rest so far so good.



 

 

Screw the 360. Seriously, screw that piece of junk. Went through 3 of them in about 2 months before just giving up on Microsoft entirely. Meanwhile, my 2007 Wii still works today. Even with the ps2, I'm only on my 2nd one that I replaced in 2006.



X360 red ring of death, still hurts to this day



I've gone through more X360's than I care to admit.



My ps3 broke after several years.
