Don't kid yourself...many thousands of 360s died due to RROD. I lost 3 myself alone. (the last one kicked it about 3 months ago after 200 billion hours of use...the video started going and then it RROD'd on me.

Not what I'm stating.  The RRoD was 30% failure rate on early models but it has been lowered since then.  2006-2008 their was what 20-30 360's sold.  That means 50 million has been sold since they have fixed the problem.

P.S. thousands is a small percentage of 70m......

a 6% difference in failure rate is not that big.  YLoD has had many issues as well.  Nintendo is the only console that has a relatively low number.

Nintendo was really about to leverage the simplicity of the Wii into such a low failure rate but can you imagine the same given the WIIU?  I see those controllers getting abused to crap.

The controllers will probably sell pretty well because of so many people will break them, but they are built pretty sturdy as well.  Their is a video on youtube of a guy testing it's durability by dropping it on concrete multiple times.
