At one point in time Wii technology required a machine as big as a PC. Remember the Xbox? The Wii is old technology that was dealt with years ago. The 360 is/was cutting edge technology and it had unprecedented problems.

My point is you can't compare the two. As far as technology goes they are from two different generations.

Old technology is innacurate. It's a less powerful processor, or the same power as earlier computers but smaller and more energy efficient. Nobody has denied that part of the reason the Wii can be so small and still be reliable and rarely overheat is because it doesn't have the kind of processing the HD consoles have. However what we are saying is that being powerful is not an excuse for poor reliability in a consumer product. Most people expect better than a 1 in 10 failure rate, and I think they'd want that especially from something that was as expensive as the PS3 has been.

Like I said. As far as the 360 goes it was unprecedented problems. MS also spent a over a billion dollars repairing broken consoles for free and they had the 3 year extended warranty. The console has also become cheaper and more reliable than ever. You can't ask for much more than that.

I don't have much of excuse for the PS3 since they seem to be purposely making it less reliable.

The Wii however just isn't nearly as advanced. It isn't fair to compare it to HD consoles. It's well built but it isn't advanced technology and its expensive.
