360 house fires

One of the dumb things people usually did was put the system in an enclosed space.

Remember the 6 gorillion

Then there was the stupid advertising campaign for all three systems that gen having the systems on their sides. That was a huge contributor to this because of the poor cooling systems meant that when placed virtical, they all got pockets of hot air that got trapped and wouldn't be pulled out by their incredibly weak fans.

LOL

i never once even tried that

Well most people are idiots.

>vertical stands

And Sony stupidly keeps placing their exhaust vents in the back, which almost everyone would cover up by shoving the unit into an enclosed space or against something. Not many setups offered open space behind it.

people paying money to kill their syste,s

The 360 was the worst with the vertical thing.

Because it was a tray loader that had *nothing* to secure discs in the tray but gravity.

i guess it was...

top down

*snickers*

So just slightly tap the thing while vertical and then the disk bounces around and goodbye system.

The PS4 and Xbox One disappointed me

For their part they actually have decent cooling systems this time.

Aside from Sony again stupidly putting the vents in the back where they would inevitably get covered up

the one thing i'd change about consoles

that BEEP when they turn on. Or being able to turn it off

What I'd change is dropping those damn awful disk drives in favor of cartridges again. Something Nintendo is doing right for once.

some people ive seen have made custom waterloops on their consoles

ehhhhhhhhhhh

Game disks need to die in a fire. They suck so bad.

that would mean zero chance ever of being BC

idk id be the type of person to do that sort of thing

changing formats always ruins backwards compat

see PS3 > PS4

Welll Sony backed themselves into a corner there.

The PS3's format was killing them. It made all multiplats have shitty PS3 ports.

Their own damn fault.

They did it on purpose to discourage multiplats.

Backfired in their face badly.

i just went pc once the ps4 came out, might as well instead of buying the new gens

explains why Wet and Lollipop Chainsaw never came to PC

Yeah, the 8th gen might just be where PC killed consoles

"killed"

*cough* hyperbole

I'm building my own pc this August

Yeah, but at this point consoles have nothing to offer
