Nintendo Gamecube most durable game system!

Has anybody seen the episode of X-play where Morgan Webb starts dropping and smashing The Nintedo Gamecube Sony Playstation 2 and Microsoft X-box?Well if you haven't then here's the results:
PS2-Is unable to turn on after dropping a weight on it from the top of a ladder.
X-box-Is unable to turn on after droppin a weight on it from the top of a ladder, pounded on the side with sledge hammer, and dropped off a high balcony.
GCN-Got a weight dropped on it from the top of a ladder, punded on it's side with sledge hammer, and dropped off high balcony and still worked!
And afterwards they tried it again and the results came out exactly the same.
After that the PS2 and the X-box got smashed up some more for breaking (this has to be console abuse)!
I think Nintendo deserves a hand for making a tough game system!

That's awesome. This shows that Nintendo is better.

I love XPlay, even though I didn't see that episode. Personally, I don't think these tests should even matter, because you should be taking care of your consoles, considering they are really expensive.

Lol I agree, Nintendo has always made durable systems and games.

I saw that episode. All three consoles are tough, but the tests were pretty biased. The Xbox?s weight would obviously cause it to take the last test pretty hard.
And all it shows is that the console can take more wear and tear it should never see. o_O

Biased? X-Play? Gamecube? Yeah right. X-Play hates the GCN.

well then that is the x-box's fault for making a system that heavy.

Accually, I forgot that my GC was in my travel bag, and I dropped it off a 2nd story landing, it was on the bottom of the travel bag with a lot of magizines, books, graphic novels, and other heavy electronic cords, and it still works like it did when I pulled it fresh out of the box! :D

It's good to make them durable. Since Nintendo knows that many of us are accidents waiting to happen, they probably went ahead and just made it more stronger for the sake of it. They probably know that someone will drop it sooner or later. :P

Well, it's good to know that I can drop my Gamecube from a ladder, pound it with a sledge hammer, and drop it off a balcony, and it will still work! I'll keep this in mind the next time I feel like doing that.

if they can make the systems that durable why not houses? But theyd make em even more durable then thier consoles.

I agree with Abby, it's a kinda biased test. Though I still think Nintendo may have the most durable system, most of those situations will never happen.

But balcony/ladder dropping and sledgehammer abuse isn't very realistic. Possible, but not realistic. Perhaps.. dropping it waist-high multiple times? I dunno.

Actually i know a few people who have dropped there gamecube out of there 2 story window/balcony eh... they still work perfectly :P

You know, it strikes me as odd that Sony has the least durable system out there, and they made it even skinnier. What the heck is up with that?


That said, All I can say to you all who drop your systems on purpose to see if they still work is, I'm not replacing them. Not my problem. Of course, they didn't put "durable enough to withstand sledgehammer bludgeoning" on the side of the systems, so THEY probably won't replace a shattered system either.

Accidental, I understand, but when you do things like that on purpose... yeah... There's some issues that need to be worked out...

"OK. Today, we're going to see if the PS2, XBox and GCube can handle an accidental sledgehammer bludgeoning. Let me just hit the bottle one more time... ... (Bubbling Sounds)... ... Ok, man. We're all set."

(Slams hammer down on the three systems.) "Dude, did you see those pieces go everywhere? Man, I didn't know those systems could break into that many pieces... Dude, I think that's your Memory Card..."

Sorry, ranting again.
