Uhhh....That's actually not what I meant at all. What I was talking about was how long does the whatever receiver usually last before it burns out. I've seen computers and phones often stop connecting to wifi and such because of problems like that. I didn't mean that in 10 years the system won't be able to use a Gamepad because it's old and won't be compatible anymore.
Companies often make products on purpose to only last a certain little while before they either stop working or support stops and various other reasons. In otherwords they are not made to last. That way consumers buy more to keep them in business and economy flowing. TV makers for instance want you to replace your TV every 5 years. Phone Companies do it through service and want you to get a new phone every 2 years.
Well see that's the thing I never had to replace anything like that.
All my stuff works just fine. I had alot since launch day and it still works today.
I did have a plasma TV go out after 5 yrs when I had a 4dr warranty.
But other then that my stuff have lasted.
