To all the people in here (which seems to be everyone) who is claiming that PS3 has a higher failure rate than Wii, care to share where you are getting this information from? Or are you just making wild estimations out of nowhere?

Check it out...YLOD

I know what the YLOD is, but I am just wondering where everyone is pulling out these estimations. We've heard about the YLOD. We've also heard about RROD and Wii's failing. RROD has always been kindof in the spotlight especially since MS extended the warranty. But how are people automatically assuming there are more YLOD on PS3 than failing Wii's?


Because you never hear about Wii's breaking. I haven't heard anybody say their Wii has broken untill this thread, whereas I have heard lots of users say they have the YLOD and even more who have the RROD. RROD is on the decline and YLOD is on the rise.

Ever feel as if that might just be your personal experience? Just because you have heard something more than another does not mean it's true.

As for your second point, I don't even see how YLOD rising and RROD declining has anything to do with Wii vs. PS3 failure rates. Yes, RROD is on the decline. Down is the only way it can go from the initial 33% failure rate that some sources were reporting. But YLOD on the rise? That's another point that I think you simply made up and are using as a fact.

lol, what thread were you reading? This thread is about console falure rates, not Wii vs. PS3 failure rates.
