Had mine for 5-6 years, never broke down, only froze a handful of times. Now you can't walk down the street without hearing a next-gen console exploding in someone's living room.

Whereas the other two consoles are self-harmers, the Wii seems intent on damaging those around it. I have a Mega-Drive that's never missed a beat to this day. Same with my mate's SNES. Seems a shame that as the tech gets better the life expectancy dwindles. Has been a bad generation for reliability.

We spend enough money on these consoles, at least the relevant companies could make a machine that lasts. I never needed a replacement PS1, my PS2 did stop working for dvd based games but would play cd based games fine, so that was replaced. Thou, that was after years of usage. I can only hope my lack of time using my PS3 will somehow preserve it's console life. Sony say the PS3 will have a 10 year life cycle, they didn't tell us how many consoles we might need to see that through. Anyone have any Wii woes? It is dusturbing to hear another PS3 story of woe.
