It does happen with consoles but much later. This lets you understand why. It comes from various electric components, for example electrolytic capacitors dry out. The reason consoles don't use them, they don't want to ever have the bad reputation of dying consoles. Why do 'computers' use them? Planned obsolescence. You will go buy that new computer basically by certain number of years.
