We know no such thing. An anecdote on the internet = PS3 fail rate has gone up? Right, that sounds definitive.

All we know is 360 had an above average fail rate and that it 'may' still have an above average fail rate.

As for PS3 we know it's fail rate is above Wii but apparently within the acceptable range for electronics.

As for the slim we know nothing yet, despite the OP. Given it uses less power, etc. I see no reason for the fail rate to change, because while smaller it's using less juice and so far the evidence I've seen is it runs to roughly the same temperature at the heat exhaust.

Even if it uses less power, its a safe bet it was rushed out and they lowered the build quality to save money. We'll have to wait and see if that has any impact.

rushed? the 45nm cell has been in production since feb '08.
