It's not just old consoles that are reliable, it was SEGA (and Nintendo). When Sony and MS rolled in their consoles are ready cut corners in reliability, and here we are today. PSX and Playstation 2 disc-read errors are extremely common and crippling, even back then. But by the time people noticed they already owned a bunch of games and would just buy a new console lol.

So true. I bought a Saturn a month ago after hearing and reading much about it for years, and the thing still works perfectly. I even bought a stack of CD-R to burn some "backups", and not a single read error. I was expecting to have laser power issues, but nothing, it just works.
