Sony´s console weren´t great either. My PS1 must be turned upside down for playing. If I don´t do this, nothing.

For PS2, I´m currently on third. DRE in both cases.

So yelling on MS only is a little unfair.


Xbox 360 failure rate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS1 & PS2 failure rate combined

You are quite full of it. When it came out PS2 had atleast 15% failure rate within the first year. Much more after the second and third year. Also, first 3 gen models of PS2 were affected with DRE issue. You could fix it (just like you can fix RROD) if you knew what you were doing.

PS1 as well had a high failure rate for first gen models...

So this whole ">>>>>>>>>" is completely wrong.  PS1 + PS2 failure rate should be about equal to xbox 360 failure rate.

Whats worse is that sony only gave you 90 day warranty for both PS1 and PS2. Where Microsoft gives you 3 years...

Links for bolded parts please


I don't have hours to waste looking for theoretical stats on the net... PS1 came out in 1994, you really think the internet will have artciles about its falure rate? Net hardly existed back then...

Most sony fanboys like to pretend the nastyness of PS2 and PS1 launch models didn't happen but rest of us know the truth.  I had a launch ps2 for 6 months before it died on me...I used it mostly as a DVD player. Below are posts from respected people on this forum that have had similar experiences...

The bottom line is that MS is fixing their mistakes. People that bought first few models of PS1 or PS2 and had it die after 30/90 days were screwed.

People need to stop making these threads. Yes MS made a huge mistake but they are fixing it the best they can unlike some others...
