| akuseru said: the PS3 would have been MOCKED like crazy by most 360 fans which obviously are OK with the 360 having the RROD. For PS3 it would just be another reason to not buy the crap "$600 system". I don't even want to think about how the press would've slaughtered it. OT: Probably would've bought it, maybe waited. At least I would be angry as hell if it failed and Sony would have lost their reputation of a solid company. But luckily, they did not rush their product and show they can make some good hardware! |
I'm not sticking up for MS in any way, they screwed the pooch royally early on with their failure rates. That said, PS2 was probably the least reliable piece of electronics ever made, so I don't know how Sony could possibly have a reputation for solid hardware.
Either way, I kept replacing my PS2 every time it broke, and replaced my 360 when it got RROD, so clearly I don't care much about hardware failures, just about the gaming library. So even if PS3 had the Xbox-like fail rates, it probably wouldn't have made me want one any less.
