The failure rates of new X360s would be around 5%.
The X360s have gone through 5 or 6 revisions and the chips (GPU and CPU) have been reduced and internal cooling systems have been improved dramatically over the course of three and a half years.
I forget what the official failure rates of launch X360 consoles were but they were no where near as high as some of the PS3 fans are trying to claim on the internet. 25% failure rate is the highest rate I believe the launch consoles reached. The 40 to 50% failure rates claimed by PS3 fans are ridiculous false statements.
