I highly disagree. I think as far as gaming hardware, Sony has a questionable history.

DREs plagued early PS2's just as much as RRoD does the early 360s, after a couple years of aging. The launch PS1 used plastic for a slider rail, rather than metal, which of course, melted eventually, and cause the console to brick. The PSP slims launched with large numbers of dead pixils, and the PS2 slim's launch was marred by a design flaw which cause the machine to overheat. Even the early PS3 models are prone to overheating with eventual RRoD type extensive hardware failure.

On the other hand, Nintendo has been making quality hardware without need for revisions for a long time.

If my NES still plays, then how is Sony the king of hardware, seriously? Remember the gamecube? That machine was designed to withstand impact. Seriously. Real, impact.

Nintendo has, and probably always will produce more reliable hardware than Sony, in my opinion.

you abit exaggerating things, sony had problems, so have nintendo, and went noticeable with brawl.

but not a single company have problems such as microsoft with it console.

they just can't build reliable hardware,

even if early ps3 have problems even like that still way lower than 6%.

compared to crazy 60% of microsoft, things break, thats a given for everything, but never to such a crazy output.

Yeah, MS' consoles suck, but my most failure prone console has been the PS2, with a whopping 3 purchases of the sucker.

Anyway, I still think Nintendo make the best consoles, from a design perspective, but there is no way I was gonna let the sony asskissing go on, as if they are the angels of console design. They have had way more widespread problems than Nintendo in less time, and at the very least, they aren't perfect as some people(probably people who never owned a Playstation before the PS3) seem to believe.
