and the Dreamcast did stop working 6 years later but if you turn it upside down it works like a charm.
I'm still laughing at that. Seriously? xD

Of the mainstream consoles I would say that it is.The votes are distorted, the xbox is by no means the worst console of the sixth generation ...
So the Xbox was better because of homebrew?~snip~
Sorry, buddy. This is the internet. You'll encounter people with different believes than their own. If it comforts you, it has been said many times in the comments that this generation simply had no bad consoles. So here, people are voting more for their 'least favorite' console.The general public has not even known the Dreamcast, so its life was short ... The xbox is awesome in every way, I do not understand this classification ...
I think the votes come from people who have not even known these two consoles ...
I had to vote PS2 as the worst. Not because it had bad games. I was purely thinking of the console itself. The thing that turns me off to the PS2 was mine kept having hardware problems. I know the Slim doesn't have nearly as many problem, but at the time I never had as much frustration with any console than I did with the original PS2 model.
My GameCube, and Dreamcast all still reliably work 14 years later. I did have a Xbox for a short time, but other than Jet Set Radio Future and Oddworld, I didn't feel much need to hold onto it. I'll probably pick up another one if I see one cheap enough.
I agree, but I will give Sony this, at least their stuff is easy to work on. Nintendo products are a pain to work on half the time, though they don't fail nearly as often. I'm still using my original PSP Slim. It's had some problems over the years but I fixed it every time. With how much I use it due to its homebrew-ability, it doesn't surprise me it's had a couple of problems. I've never had to work on a 360, but the original Xbox was easy enough to work on since it was essentially PC hardware in there. Both the disc drive and hard drive are easily swapped out.Same here. Both my Dreamcast and Gamecube work like a charm to this day.That's 15 years of working condition. And neither of them are in the greatest of shapes either.
Meanwhile my god damn Xbox broke twice, my Xbox 360 died after 1 year, and my PS2 slim went to s**** after I finished Final Fantasy XII. Like seriously. I bought the Final Fantasy XII bundle, and it died on me after 1 playthrough. What the hell?
I haven't had the best of luck with Microsoft's and Sony's hardware..
Oh, oh, by the way, I've had 6 PSP's.

Just because something is following PC-like standards doesn't really mean that it's a PC. Neither the GPU nor the CPU have exact PC equivalents, the system is very much a console and has console-like API's. There was a rumour that it was running a Win 2000 derrivative, but those turned out to be false - the system was designed from the ground up, it wasn't a PC in disguise. The same can be said about the PS4/XBOne.Agreed. The original Xbox was easy to fix due to it being a pc with a green circle on top.
Mine fried the motherboard though. Along with everything else.
