It's important to me because the 360 shouldn't even exist. The system should have tanked as bad as the Dreamcast, but Americans are so bloody stupid that they value social online gaming more than common sense.
The 360 has a failure rate that is embarrassing, and Microsoft is still laughing their way to the bank because their customers are so hooked on spending $50/year on Xbox Live that they refuse to abandon the 360 for a more reliable system with a marginally inferior online service.
However, this problem only seems to exist in the US, where the 360 is outperforming the PS3 by almost double; in just about every other region, the PS3 has outsold the 360 since release. Every time I look at console sales, I wonder what is wrong with the average American consumer, that they'd choose a piece of crap over a more reliable alternative. I want the PS3 to win because I don't want to be stuck with systems that break as often as laptop computers, plain and simple.
