I guess Nintendo really makes the most durable hardware?

I had a Playstation from Fall of '98 to Summer '01. Instead of replacing it I got the then brand new Gamecube. Aside from Playstation 1 and Sega Gensis I only owned Nintendo hardware. With Sega Gensis I had to replace the controllers twice. The console itself was fine. Overall I agree Nintendo has the consoles built to last even in the more machine-like consoles Gamecube and beyond. My experience proves that.
