This entire red ring of death thing just makes me sick. Consumers who have continued to reward such a shoddy product with continued sales should be ashamed. Microsoft puts out so many products (software and hardware) that are so extremely flawed that I can't believe that they didn't go out of business years ago. I believe that so many people defend Microsoft because it's an American company and we as Americans are always told to "buy American". If this exact same situation were to happen to a foreign company such as Sony or Nintendo, people would be making a lot bigger deal out of it. I don't care how good you think the software is. Reliable hardware on which to play the software should trump all.

Then be glad consumers rewarded Sony for crappy hardware with the PS1 and PS2 since you seem to me to be quite fond of SCE. Whats written in the PS2 slim manual? Ohhh don't play for more than 5 hours? Well damn, the Xbox 360 can do better than that and thats without having 9-10 PS2 revisions.

What about the people who defended Nvidia for their bumpgate problems, you know the one thats cost them ~300M in repairs thus far? These problems happened after the Xbox 360 problems occoured so shouldn't they have learnt from the similar Xbox 360 example?

If consumers shunned badly designed consoles, we would be talking about the golden ages of the N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox 1 (maybe) and the PS1/2 would be like a footnote in history.

never a console had a high failure rate of the 360, even so ps1 and ps2 didn't DIE.

Ps1 motors was plastic, prone to meltdown, it could be fixed

and ps2 had a lens problems, fixed by clean or changing the lens, both problems corrected after a year.
