ummm
My Wii, hardware-wise is good. Only some dust in the fans. Software-wise? Terrible. 2012 homebrew remnants and a corrupted channel. I also have way too much other homebrew junk on there I don't use.
EDIT: And DIOS-MIOS is installed. Too lazy to remove it all.

Um... excellent, I guess? My PS2, 3DS and Xbox 360 work and my DS Lite doesn't.
PS2 - Makes one hell of a racket, but it did so since day one so, meh. Normal, right? It's got Blu-Tack wedged in some of the sensors to allow for PS1 disc swapping but all works well.
3DS - Second-hand (PS2 was too but at least it was from a relative) and I've never been able to properly clean the top screen. WiFi light doesn't work and the circle pad stiffens if not used for a while, but sure, it's fine.
Xbox 360 - Flawless. No scratches, just dusty.
DS Lite - Hinge got broken, top screen got broken so I just ripped the top screen off altogether. Unfortunately you need to open it up with the right-sized screwdriver to get it to run with one screen and I can't be bothered with that.
Alright, fine. Let's bump down the rating to good.

My home consoles are in great condition, other than some dust.
Controllers are often fine too except for:
- The Wii U controller. It works perfectly, but it just seems to attract scratches and scuffs on the case regardless of how careful I am. I know the Wii U controller would be awkward to replace so I'm even more careful with it than I already am, yet it still manages to be the only controller I have with any physical damage.
- The PS4 controller. That thing pretty much absorbs dirt at an obscene rate and I just got sick of cleaning the damn thing all the time. It works fine, but I wouldn't recommend touching it...
My 3DS is fine other than a small scratch on the top screen that's only really visible when it's turned off or the 3D is on (but I don't use the 3D anyway, so that doesn't matter). I got my 3DS preowned though, so that's not my fault.
I take my 3DS everywhere with me too, so it annoys me that it manages to be in the same condition as when I bought it yet the Wii U controller looks like it's been in a blender when it only ever goes from my hands to the charging dock on my shelf.

My 3DS is in almost perfect condition, but it's also two and a half years old, so the scream sometimes feels scratched when I use my stylus. It's got a skin on it. I've also never dropped it, so there's that.

I keep all of my consoles in really good condition. Some of my older consoles from when I was younger aren't as good, but everything else is up to my standards. One of the little black pads on the back of my Wii U GamePad has come off, though. I still have it, but I don't wanna risk losing it if I were to reattach it, so I've just put it somewhere safe.
Nintendo 3DS: Perfect condition; Looks like it was bought yesterday.
Wii U: Semi-perfect condition; Looks like it was bought yesterday; Left Joystick on the Gamepad constantly moves the character or menu unexpectedly and it can get pretty annoying.
Xbox 360: Semi-Perfect condition; Fairly dusty; Controller 3 however has a loose battery pack so I advise my friends not to shake it or it'll lose connection and a stiff B Button due to accidentally dropping it over the years along with accidentally dumping all my controllers in a tub of cleaning liquids while cleaning the window, which resulted in the controllers (4) being sent for repairs.

Wii - Perfect :3
Wii U - Good but...It has alot of scratches on the bottom side of the console
3DS - Well...My 3DS has been going bad since 2014.... The rubber circle pad fell off, the A and B button can get to a time we're suddenly they dont respond correctly and probably the worse: The 3D slider is broken, no matter if the slider is at the bottom, the 3D wont quit...
To stop the 3D i put the parental controls on it...Which is annoying sometimes...
