Xbox 360 gets the ring of death because Mircrsoft was trying to cut costs of they system and included an inferior cooling system.  The motherboard get super hot and warps.  Causing the chips to "pop out".  The Wii is simply designed and would not have any problems like that if Nintendo ramped up production to meet demand.

 Um, lawl?

Shitty construction and QA will result in hardware failure no matter what device you're talking about. Even those little solar calculators have issues if they're built in a crappy factory.

And someone here said it best: Wiis were easier to find mid-year. Why didn't you get one then? 



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
