There still are working Atari 2600s that are almost 50 years old, so probably not. It depends on the console and whether or not you repair it at all. The original Xbox is a console that you need to repair. Unless you remove the clock capacitor and replace the hard drive, it's probably not gonna work in 2051.

No, the simpler units may last close to forever. Otherwise they might require repairs. However, given it's been close to 50 years for some of them so far, the idea that they'd just die is pretty fucking ignorant.

Replacing the capacitors can probably add another 15 years of life. Also if you don't overvolt or undervolt the console itself you should be good.
But some semi conductors have a terrible life span like some of the SNES PPUs --- Previewing your message before you post is for suckers. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

You will have to at least do some small repairs to keep them going 50+ years. Capacitors leak over time for example. I buy and sell gaming stuff and I've had a lot of consoles from Atari 2600 to current and only a few didn't work and needed repairs. Some consoles will stand the test of time better than others as well. Taking care / using precautions will help a lot in the long run. Like taking out the battery in the PSP if stored away, it can swell up pretty bad as it ages.
