Sorry buddy, but the only console made with true quality parts is Nintendo. The longevity is amazing. I am saying this without being a Nintendo fan.

all three are made with quality part's it's just that quality control may not be as good as in other places and that may have to do with which company produces the part's and where and their track record is in production, though I have my self had good luck with every Nintendo system and Playstation system i have ever owned, though not so much as with Microsoft , not because it's bad or anything, my first xbox was stolen.

The original Xboxes are of higher quality parts than the PS1 and PS2. The 360 was sabotaged, but now has a lower failure rate. Nintendo is untouchable in quality.....you could drop that thing offf of a roof. The PS3 was launched as a $600 system with "high quality" parts. That makes Sony look bad. Microsoft has already paid their dues for screwing up, so its about time Sony started answering to why the 40, 80 and 60GB systems are getting the YLOD.

For what we know, the PS3 failure rate is very very low. Also, each time I asked people if their YLOD PS3 was having 6 inches of airflow around it always resulted in a negative answer. Theres thousand and thousands of play time on my 60GB first generation PS3 (movies/musics/videos/games/folding at home), it is still working very smooth at an average of 5 hours per day (I use it for all entertainment in the living room). Its by far the console I used the most even if its only been 3 years and a half. The other day I was messing with my projector connection, and the PS3 dropped from his shelve. Guess what, after a drop from almost 2 meters, it is still in perfect working condition. Actually it was worst for the floor than the PS3. Theres a big dent on the wooden floor now lol.
