I think it is logical to assume the 360 and PS3 will have higher failure rates simply down to heat fatigue alone. The Wii is more like a normal consumer product in that regard.
Proper ventilation is very important with these devices. I suspect the PS3 to have increasing failure rates based on usage and age also the same should apply to the Jasper units although you would expect Microsoft to have learnt more about the heat issues and corrected them longer term but that might not of happened.
The new PS3 Slim sounds like it expells a lot more air directly via an exhaust in a more traditional way. I am not sure how well it will perform in poor ventilation but my experience with the original PS3 is it seemed to cope but for how long is questionable.
