Surely that's sold, how many out there are working? :P

http://www.destructoid.com/new-survey-puts-xbox-360-failure-rate-at-42--171088.phtml

according to that 42% failed, some got fixed and some replaced.

We will never know how many are working.

Hah, that's based off an online poll. No way poeple were lying.

Perhaps 42% of old models is believeable. But 42% of all 360 consoles? Bullshit.

The truth is 360 had huge failure rate, IMO 15% or more of that 40m is dead.

No one is denying that, but that article has no validity.

The 15% is possible. Normal failures aside, shit happens. The PS3 could also be that high. God knows how many consoles have broken from normal hardware failure. Lets not forget a lot of consoles got bricked from updates and even FFXIII. Sony doesn't cover those repairs.
