Only bad thing about the NES was the pins going bad after a while and the sprite limit flicker is an annoying issue in alot of games.

Controller design sucked and the joystick design was faulty from the start having palstic rubbing on plastic like that. Also using Carts instead of cds was a terrible choice. Thing is built like a tank though. The few games it has are amazing. So B for that.

PS1

The messy inaccurate rendering of the 3d on the ps1 is the only fault other than laser failure being common.

Only bad thing about GC is the stupid desicion to use minidvds.

Disc drive/laser failure rate and shitty video quality drops the hardware down to a C.

Love the design of the og Xbox. Hdd was amazing that you didn't have to worry about memory cards and you coukd rio your cds onto it. The controllers were some of the best bith the Duke and fhe slim controller were so comfortable and felt great in your hands.

I loved the 360 but I've went through 6 of the fuckers because of RROD. Also memory units were a half baked useless obsolete idea. The faceplates were cool and so were the hdds.

Nintendo had no excuse not to backlight this one, shame. Other than that its a fantastic portable 8bit machine.

So disappointing it didn't come with a backlight until much later revisions. Sound chip was godawful and the screen like the other gameboys was so hard to get a good angle on. Controls were fantastic and the game library is amazing.
