Please show me Hard evidence of 7 new ps2 broken because I have serious doubts of the kind of abuse someone would have to put to destroy this many console in a gen.

Even more when failure rate of ps2 is nowhere close to rrod on first version of X360.

My DS Phat's top screen came off in 2009 after having it since launch, got a DS Lite to replace it and the same thing happened to it in 2013. I had two original 3DS and the shoulder buttons on both died (I bought the second because the first one's shoulder buttons died, too T.T) I also had the reset button on my Gamecube jam, but it didn't affect function, it was just permanently down so I could reset using it.

Outside of that.. I've been pretty good. I don't know what happened with the DS hinges and 3DS shoulder buttons, my GBA SP is still in one piece and it's shoulder buttons work too.

My big brothers consoles which i played on
- 2 PS2s who stopped reading CD games
- launch Xbox 360 RRoD after a year

For me
- my first console a PSone broke the disc holder like after 10 years
- My xbox has issues opening the disc tray, i just have to press it 2 times tough

My original NES died eventually. I wanted get the redesigned top loading model because the front loading design was the source of the NES's reliability issues. My PS2 died in under a year and half, but everyone one I knew had issues with their PS2 failing. It was sort of like the next console I had issues with minus the free replacement. The 360. I had two 360s red ring on me. If MS didn't replace them for free, I would abandoned the platform like I did the PS2.

My first x360 had the RROD. My ds fell and broke but I already had the 3ds at that time. Also my Wii U stopped working but Nintendo fixed it for free.

I bought 4 360's at launch for myself and family and everyone broke with 3 of them breaking very quickly with RROD.   The last one that broke I threw in the garbage until one of the last model black slims.  I'm not sure which it is.  I bought because my son really wanted to play some game of which I now don't remember. 

This was very shocking to me because having owned vic20,commodore64,intellivision,NES and then PC gaming in between I'd never experienced such low quality hardware build.  I almost went back to PC gaming only but my wife gave me a PS3 slim and GOW3 which stopped me  

I also had a wii disk drive go out but that was on a used one so I can't attest to how it was cared for.  My original wii I bought new never had issues  

PS2 is the platform I've had more issues with then any other platform I've owned combined, the infamous DRE problem was the bane of my gaming during that era and I had issues with some PS2s deciding they couldn't read certain discs. I actually went through a number of PS2s before my launch model PS3 came along to play PS2 games with no issue.

Other consoles I didn't have any major issues with like the PS2.

My original PS1 still kinda works, although you have to place it in a weird angle for it to actually read any discs, which seemed to be a common problem with the console.

My old fat PS2 ended up dead after about 7 years when the disc drive no longer read anything. My second PS2 is still working perfectly.

My first 2 PS3's also ended up breaking, but my third has now been in use for over 6 years without any issues.

I also have a PSP that still works after 8 years.

We also have a 360 that doesn't belong to me, but it has worked perfectly thus far.

The best of all, my 25 year old NES still works.

So, for the most part I've been lucky with my consoles.

I wish MS had replaced my 360's but I was unlucky and they broke very early during the denial stage.  

The old phat PS2s had a problem where they would stop reading discs after a couple if years. Had two stop working like that. The problem would start slow, only affecting a few games at a time till they were all unplayable. Opening up and cleaning it was a temp fix, but it only worked a few times before that stopped working too.

Ever since that I have real bad OCD with my consoles, drives my wife nuts. However my phat PS3 and 360 still work to this day.
