So here's the rundown on my question. These are the issues with all my malfunctioning consoles and what you guys think might be the issue causing this...
PS3: About three months ago my PS3 started having fuzzy image quality to the point that it's unusable, I thought it was my HDMI slot, but now I'm not so sure...
Wii U: About two months ago my Wii U Gamepad's battery suddenly died rendering my console a brick. I thought it was just its time at first, but now I'm not so sure...
Switch: About two months ago my OG Switch's dock stopped displaying my screen on the TV, this was when I started getting suspicious...
PSTV: Last week both my Game Card Reader and Memory Card Reader went out on my PSTV rendering it all, but useless...
PS4 HDD: Today my PS4 6TB external hard-drive started having serious issues installing files...
So long story short is this what I'm suspecting it is and my electrical wiring needs to be replaced in my home, or do you think it's something else? Thanks for your feedback in-advance!
This place coming like a ghost town, all my consoles are being closed down.
It sounds to me like you are being haunted by a poltergoost of a deceased Ouya which is stuck in limbo between here and silicon heaven.
Call a priest, or Max Headroom.

@WiiWareWave honestly, that sounds awful. Have you consulted with neighbors to see if anyone else is experiencing this type of thing? Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be something too expensive or too hard to fix 😬

@WiiWareWave My initial suspicion would be reverse polarity. Essentially, the electricity might be flowing through your house in the wrong direction. An electrician would be able to do a plug-in test as any socket to determine whether this is the case.
As for the problem with the fuzzy image on the PS3, it could be something simple, like a faulty HDMI cable, but if the problem is more serious, like a faulty GPU or internal wiring, you might want to get an expert opinion.
As for other consoles, in particular, the Wii U gamepad or the Switch dock, which do not work properly, this is often due to power or connection problems. If this is not so easy to fix, you can try to call a specialist. If you're not sure if you need an electrician or a general professional, here's a useful resource.: https://www.becomeopedia.com/electrician/.
Maybe you'll like it so much that you decide to become one yourself.
