I had an Atari 2600 ... and that damn thing lasted me until 2002 ( and it was a 1990 model :P ) ... even then the console worked , just that my joystics had broken , and I couldent find new ones :P

SNES - broke
N64 - fell and can't turn on
Dreamcast - stolen
gameboy - sold it for a GBa
GBA - water
Gamecube - sold it
2 ds's broken hinge

...

My PS2 died from disc read errors, my Dreamcast died because my brother dropped it.

 You know that you can use a Genesis controller in place of an Atari 2600 joystick right?

one NES - after the raise lower thing broke, it eventualy just stoped powering on
one snes- video out put died probably a bad solder

two ps2s- both disk drive failures

xbox one failed- my brother knocked a large candle onto it, the wax seeped into it.

no other failures on current consoles 

NES- stopped reading games altogether
PS1- little brother broke it

NES - faulty connector
Dreamcast - dead power supply
PSP- worn out analog nub

Never had any problems with my others systems (2600, SNES, N64, GC, GB, GBA, PS2, PS3, Genesis, Saturn or my replacement Dreamcast and PSP) *knocks on wood*

Mehh, i have yet to see a console break lol.

OFF TOPIC:
The title of your thread rembered me of this Reggie's sentence:
"The graveyard of any industry is filled with the headstones of companies who decided to keep doing things the same old way. Playing only on the margin, making things just a little bit better. That strategy works....for a while, but ultimately it's fatal. Over the years our industry has come to accept progress simply by what’s on the screen."

PS1 x 2

PS2 x 4 or 5 (lost count)...ooh I wonder how they managed to sell 120 million of them *cough cough*

Xbox 360 x 3 (RROD but under extended warranty
so still same console)
