Another problem is parts breaking down over the years, especially as the technology become more complex. It's unrealistic to expect someone to have a working PS3 after frequent use in 2035. They should be doing everything they can to emulate games on the later consoles.
Yes, also this.

My Xbox 360 has all but packed it in, by now. The disc drive hasn't properly worked for years, and by the time I finally retired it because the Xbox One introduced backwards compatibility, I was having to pry it open with a screwdriver, just to change the disc. And this was my 3rd 360.

Hardware doesn't last too well - especially when they are packed with cheap moving parts, like modern consoles.

Was that the original 360 or the Slim? My og 360 died on me three time and traded it in for a refurbished Slim in 2014. My Slim still works.

Correction: we had 4, and all of them were from the original model of 360.

The first was purchased in 2006, and was the 20GB model. He had it in his bedroom, and apparently I bothered him a lot when he was trying to do his homework, so for Christmas in 2007, I got my own.

Then, later down the line, I think both of our consoles had the Red Ring of Death, and had to be replaced. We both then replaced ours with the Arcade model, which was essentially the same console, but with only a 250MB internal harddrive - seeing as we still kept our 20GB ones from before.

Not quite sure what happened to my brother's, but towards about 2012 or so, the disc drive started playing up.

I loved the 360, but my god, the early models were not reliable at all.

That is what I hate about the 360. Ours red Ring of death two times. And we bought ours in 2007. My brother eventually got his own 360 and I kept the one we shared. after the second red ring of death, it will work okay, but it would constantly copies a devil May Cry 4, and only devil May Cry 4. luckily, I saw an advertisement from gamestop where you could get more trade-in bonus for a 360 original model. And I have the membership, so no more trade-in bonus. Of course, I did not mention anything about the 360 eating copies of dmc4 to the clerk. I was able to get the refurbished slim for about a hundred and thirty.

Not too bothered bout 4k, but the frame rate is much appreciated especially for an open world action brawler game, cheers insomniac! At this point I would usually look expectingly toward Ubisoft, but it seems they got more important sex pest issues to prioritise first.
