Most durable system?

[Odonadon]

I think the busted XBox face plate is a weak excuse for it not to continue on.  Put it back on, and I'll bet ya she still rolls.  That thing is about 500 times bigger than it really needs to be, but boy is it solid.

For old systems it's gotta be NES. The thing's like a square plastic armidillo(ieilloeoallo - whatever) over the ten years i've owned one, It's been dropped and stepped on over seventy eight and a half thousand times. And it still starts up when I get on my knees and beg it.
It's like a stubborn old veteran that saved the world and only works when it wants too and only plays the games it likes.
No, not really but hopefully you get what I mean. Actually I could care less.

The NES breaks down even when you won't drop it.

when I get on my knees and beg it.

But anyways.
I think still think Genesis would be in their but one blow with a sldge would probably detroy any of them.

I said Genesis because i have looked and messed around with the indides of one.

Then again i just remembered i hit one and broke it. So probably NES because i know those have handled my abuse when i was younger.

I still think Xbox should have won the moderns still.
I am going to have to try and see if i can find the thing about someone shooting an Xbox and it being deflected.

NES SYSTEMS DID NOT WORK AFTER NORMAL USE. REMEMBER THE FLASHING SCREEN OF DEATH.

Hence they do not win. 2600 all the way. Or maybe a 5200 the size of that machine makes the Xbox look small.

Depends on how you look at it.

The did not test to see if games would work only if it would turn on and show video output.

FLASHING SCREEN OF DEATH is a form of video out put lest i be mistaken.
Now the genesis i slemmed the reset button on would turn on and i would get absolutely nothing. Just the red light to show power was going thru the system.

And just to make the record clear. Xbox should have won. The contest was fixed.  I bet Nintendo payed them off. Bet they tampered with the Xbox. Probably made it further than it should have in the first place with all the tampering they did. Cutting slicing punctures. All in the "joints" of the outter shell thus weakening it but not in a nonnoticable manner. CONSPIRACY I SAY.

i say the grey game boy is VERY durable, i cant count how many times between the ages of 5 and 12 that i dropped it down the stairs, and it still worked fine, it is now succumbing from 'loss of vertical lines of pixels', but the cause is unknown

I bet if you took a sledgehammer to an Xbox the hammer would explode.
