| Nighteyes_1981 said: All electronics have a failure rate. The Wiis failure rate is extremely low. Something around 3% I believe. Nowhere close to having 'reliability issues'. Compare that to the estimated 33% failure rate of the Xbox 360. I don't know what the PS3 failure rate is, but it appears to be much more reliable than the PS2. The PS2 was extremely prone to failure for a long time. Nintendo has always made quality products that last a long time. |
According to whom? Where did you get these numbers for failure rates?
Even if the Wii's failure rate is only 3%, I would find that disconcerting considering the most widely reported issue is the GPU failure, and not something with a moving part (I could completely understand optical drive failures after hundreds of hours of use).
