Because my PS5 is almost 4 years old & usually my console breaks somewhere in the second half of the generation. Might as well buy a new one ahead of that.
Usually just once, ps3 was the outlier where I had 3 of them. The launch one technically lasted 06-14 but the disk drive broke in 09, way before I was digital. Ps4 lasted 6 years. I never really minded because I get thousands of hours off these consoles.
As far as controller go, the launch ones break on me very quickly, ps4 one being the worst where the thumb sticks ripped off. Ps5 is actually the first gen where my launch controller still works solid. I had countless ps2, ps3 and ps4 controllers lmao.
No console of mine ever broke with the exception of one PS5 that came with a broken disc drive (that got fixed by Sony).
I always sell my consoles when a new generation arrive tho.
I will always want the best PlayStation home console available...
If they had one for 1000, I'd buy it. If they had one for 1,500, I would buy it... or even 2,000.

My PS3 as well but it was a phat and lasted so many years.
Same here with the Fat 60gb PS3. YLOD when the warranty had already run out.
No other issues with any Playstation consoles.
Controller wise, Sony controllers have been hit and miss.
PS1 controllers - Great
PS2 controllers - Great until the Model H controllers were released.
PS3 Controllers - Crap
PS4 controllers - Crap
Probably went through a dozen PS3 and PS4 controllers.
Have 2 Dualsense controllers since launch and both still work fine. Best controllers Sony have made for reliability.
Why do i get stuck with all the crap controllers lol, I've had 4 out of 6 of them drift
This might be the reason why your controllers are locking up, pieces of food in them.
What games do you play? Call of Duty? Fortnite?
Absolutely no drift on both my launch controllers and my kids use them too who aren’t very gentle with them.
I have had with one temporary issue after a controller update.
The controller kept muting sound and wasn’t working in Apps or Games after I updated.
The mute button on controller was always ON and wouldn’t turn OFF. Reset controller and all fine.
No, most of my time is genshin, most of the other time is on jrpg or action rpg. And no it isnt food or anything or else I'd be able to clean it out without opening up the stick modules
Damn that’s really bad luck.
Usually I have noticed people having drift issues cause they use the R3 or L3 extensively.
Call of Duty is the biggest culprit.

On one hand this forum's audience probably has a lot more enthusiasts than the average.
On the other hand, I wonder if there's a significant chunk of the Xbox audience that will be going directly for the PS5 Pro after feeling disillusioned by the Series X.
Most of my shits is still working...
SNES - I give to a school in 2010 working 100%.
PS1 - Well that one could only work upside down at the end due the drive reader lol
N64 - Working fine until early last year (last time I tested)
PS2 - Working fine until early last year (last time I tested)
PS3 - Working fine until early last year (last time I tested)
PS4 - Working fine today (it is still in use by my cousin)
The biggest issue is to find adapters to tests PS2 and N64
Never had to buy twice a console in a generation... that is reason I don't have mid to late console models... only models released at start of the gen... I think SNES and PS2 were the ones I take more time to buy but it was still in the 3 first years of the console.
I think the only not really good at the generation ended was PS1... but that driver reader was crazy weak.
