The fail-rate of all 360's put together probably are around 54% But the fail rate of the new 360 models are way way lowere. Probably around 10%

And then there's that little thing called 3 year warrenty and such. So should you worry about it? the answer to that is no.

you do know most of people get RROD after the warrenty rans out?

And yet it still has an 8M console lead, tons of exclusive content and games (L4D and L4D2, Mass Effect, Gears, Halo - and GTAIV DLC) and still manages to outsell the PS3 without much of a lose. Sony had to change their playbook to get back into the game. Yeah, with a 54 percent fail rate, they are still trucking. So much phail, son.

The lead is attributable to their 1-year head start and low price (and both factors are related to RRoD, ironically).  PS3 is selling at a faster rate than 360 over the same period and it just got a price cut.   They're trucking, just not as fast as PS3, even though 360 is lower cost.

Who am fail now, son?

WTF has a lead gotta do with it at this point?  The Wii has blazed past the 360...based on the NINTENDO brand.  PS2 sold over 130 million consoles...and people are still buying those...why aren't they buying PS3?  Sure, a one year lead helped 360, to ensure it didn't get steamrolled like the original xbox did against the PS2, but using the price point is riddiculous.  The reason the PS3 has a higher price is because it cost more...if sony had made it cheaper, they would be able to offer it at a lower price...who's fault is THAT?  The arcade is less than the Wii and the Wii is STILL outselling it.
