"I support 360 over PS3 but saying RROD is totally gone is BS."

Fair point. You can`t see every Falcon that rrod`s or if any Falcon rrod`s.
However,I don`t see people complaining about the Falcon,which is good. Jasper will be great also.

However,i see people complaining about the ps3 laser and how their games do not run properly,but with glitches. And even the menu has glitches. It`s on youtube and forums,so i don`t lie.
The ps2 had laser problems,sold great.
The ps3 has laser problems,sels great.
The 360 has problems,sels great.

I realy don`t see the problem. However i see the 360 more stable,while the ps3 will continue to have glitches and people calling Sony to get a replacement,wich they always do. Same goes to MS. Everything is peacefull to my eyes.

You are comparing 0.2 percent failure rate with 33 percent. There is.. quite the difference.

 

And for the record. My (close to) launch ps1 still works. So does my ps2. I personally have had no issues with either. That doesn't mean that everyone else didn't either though..

If you don't get my point i'm saying, that even if you don't have the problem.. many other people could.

Oh and there are two l's in sell.

 

Congratulations on your PS1 and PS2 still working.  As you already acknowledge though, this is only anecdotal evidence and not indicative of the bigger picture.  I could talk about my launch 360 that is still going strong or the two PS2s I returned within days of purchasing because they were scratching disks but again, only anecdotal.

I do take exception to the failure rates you quote. Microsoft don't release failure rates, and I imagine Sony don't either (if I'm wrong on that I'm sure someone will correct me).  If you are going to quote figures, please link to your sources.  The reliability issues with the 360 have now been resolved to a degree where the failure rate is 'acceptable', and I imagine it is comparable to the other consoles.  You may still see more RRoD stories but these will predominately be about older 360 consoles.  I see as many PS3 failure stories as 360 revised hardware failure stories on the forums.
