My first system was a SNES that still works perfectly 19 years later. In fact, every console I own has never given me any trouble, except my launch model PS3 which died a little over a year ago actually. Kind of funny since my PS2 will turn 11 next month (launch model) and still works perfectly.

Still got my old C64 and my old SNES. Both are still functional and the last one is still used sometimes (quite rare). Also got a working N64.

Don't know exc. about the C64 (kinda inherited it) but the SNES was put into Duty somewhen mid-90ish and the N64 somewhen late-90-early-2000ish.

Oh yeah: And my Gameboy (the original one) still works. Bought it a year or so before the SNES if I remember right.

All of my consoles still work. I have a NES, SNES, N64, PS, PS2, DS.

The only consoles I have ever had to replace is a SNES way back and that was because something happened to the sound on it, and it sounds really fucked up.

I think the older systems were built using a higher quality hardware. Or there is just less to fucking break.

My five year old Xbox that has been fixed twice sounded like it was going to explode so in fear of my life I traded it in recently and got seventy pounds of the new slim Xbox I just pity whatever poor sap they sold it on to I would not be surprised if it ended up burning their house down.
My actual oldest working console is my N64 but it doesn't get nearly as much use as the Xbox though I used to play it a lot its about nine or ten years old now probably.

My big bulky caveman PS2 works great, so about ten years. Got it near PS2 launch.

My grandparents have a Sega Genesis that still works...

Pretty self explanatory.

My current Xbox has been in service the last 4 and a half years, and I'm going to retire it on the 20th, in favor of the new GoW3 Xbox.
Well, my NES still works...

Lol, and my Xbox 360 has been working for 5 years, it was my friends before it was mine, he gave it to me.

Well I still have an original PS2, so I'd say, maybe 7 years? I think the PS2 came out around 2004, and I got mine soon after it was released so that'll be my oldest.

I have an Atari that still works, but as I've owned almost every system put out I have to say that I have been impressed with the fact that they are well made...at least until I bought a PS3.

8 months later and I had to send it off to get repaired.

Original Gameboy from around 1989 still works. Top-loading and standard NES from 1985ish still works.

Unfortunately, my SNES broke :(, but I think that's the only console I have that doesn't work anymore: My Genesis, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Nintendo 64, GBC, GBA etc. all still work as well.

My NES from when I was 8 still works today. I have it hooked up to a small tv in my bedroom for playing at night before bed.

Also, interesting note, my original launch 360 is still going, even though it sounds like a jet engine now.

My Xbox 360 has worked since Christmas 2007, without a single hiccup.

Also, I still play my stable N64 every now and again. I have had it for about 13 years.

Pikachu Special Edition N64 is my oldest fully working system.

But i have a Sega Saturn that runs, but freezes up or just shuts down every 10-15 minutes.
): Which sucks because i really wanna play my Casper game i have for it.
