Remember how much abuse you could give the old NES?

[Parmandur]

Yes! Even our Nintendo 64 has been able to withstand a lot of abuse and still keeps on trucking ... but our Nintendo Wii? We've had two of those die on us for no particular reason over the years. One day the little red light goes out, and nothing we can do will get them to turn on again. Even Nintendo doesn't make 'em like they used to!

My Wii U is still trucking on.

No way was the West going to allow gap in video game preparedness.

Except now even physical games are pushing to have internet access to work. So you wont be able to game away the apocalypse.

Maybe the Wii U is better made?

Very possible.

I mean you could beat on the sides and it would still work. Blow into unit in order to get it to work, and they still worked with the corrosion. Throw your controller at it and it would still work. My one friends Mother drove over his by accident, and while it looked terrible it still worked. Compare that to my Xbox 360 that I dropped once and stopped working. Lets all give homage to that superior construction.

To be fair, an X-Box360 is a vastly more complicated machine than an NES. This is kind of like saying my kid's wagon was superior construction to my car because it worked forever with basically no maintenance.
