No its not that fanboy that is hard to kill it's the one your showing. The RRODing has continued and sure it has been down from the early high percentage but doesn't mean its only teh same level as PS3 or Wii. Hell its not even close. We all admit its gotten better but you are the one being a fanboy if you are saying its on PS3 or Wii level.

Now of course any can get better and I'm sure 360's hardware issues will get better as it did with the Falcon. As for the slim sounds like a good idea and shows MS's need to continue to do things like this. I don't know how effective it would be but it's worth a shot. But seems to be still a rumor anyways so I'll wait for official confirmation.

 

Here the thing, Zucas, there's no way to show exactly how low RROD-ing is after the Falcon launched. So it's hard to prove that it's as low as the PS3/Wii, but the fact is, it's a lot lower. Looking at the NeoGAF thread, Falcon RROD's make up a small number of RRODs both in the entirety of X360 failures (of the 1,300 they have archived), but still make up a incredible minority of RRODs. What happens when you go from seeing 60-70+ failures a month of a specific hardware version, to under 1 per month? What range does that put you into?

If you can point to any sort of semi-conclusive report that's been put out in the past 3-4 months that have hard numbers on X360 failure rates that are confirmed Falcon units, I'd love to see it. Because NeoGAF's master thread is about the closest thing I've seen.

Exactly there is no way to tell because there is no conclusive data.  Thus I'm glad you finally changed your wording to its a lot lower rather than as low as PS3/Wii which is assumption on your part which is what I said against. 

Only data I could come up with is ancedotal data which is worthless as always so I got none.  Which is why I don't make assumptions that its on PS3/Wii level.
