We all knew how bad the 360 was, but it's interesting to see it's considerably more reliable than PS3 too. |
how is that interesting, the wii is expected to be more reliable because it is less powerful then the PS3, and as such produces less heat which is the culprit of console failures this generation.
At the end of the days it's an oranges and apples comparison, if the wii was as powerful as the PS3 and 360, then we would be seeing reliability closer to what the PS3 has right now, but as things stand....meh....there's really nothing to see here apart from the obvious which everyone already knows.

My Wii produces less heat than my PS2, and the PS2's weaker...

It's also about the size of the chips, smaller ones use less power and thus generate less heat. So a last gen console with less processing power can still produce more heat than a current gen console.
However, all consoles should be made with the end result, the consumer experience, in mind. The gamecube for example was more powerful yet also more reliable than the PS2. But if it was purely a trade off between power and reliability, I'd take reliability every time.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
