My first VCR was a gift in 1985. It broke three years ago. The ones we got in the mid 1990s as we bought more than one TV died faster.

1991 is still when most things were built to last and also video games consoles as a whole could be accurately seen as a “fad” by adults at the time.

I’ve got the lawn mower of Theseus, almost every part has been replaced at least once.
