n64 has a lot less moving parts
xbox 360 has a a bunch. to name some major ones: hard drive and a disc drive.

nintendo makes very durable things. you'd be suprised at what my brother's ds has gone through and still works. lets see... hes dropped it in water, knocked it off the table an uncountable amount of times, and other things.

PM me if you add me in either.

If you need any help on playing either of these two games competitively just drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do. I'll rate your team for you as well (not Tetris lol), but make sure it has EVs, natures, items and descriptions.
I'll also help with almost any other DS game including MKDS, DKRDS, MPH, CoD4MW, EBA. Note: I say competitive alot and I like to win lol.

The N64 was pretty awesome.
Both of mine still work after so long.
Actually.
All of my systems still work.
So I don't really know what it has to do with Nintendo durability.
