I'm not saying it's comparable to RRoD? I'm just saying your reason for thinking the RRoD is worse is stupid. Because a larger percentage of PS3 users have been experiencing this problem then the Xbox userbase experienced RRoD 

My reasoning hasn't got much to do with percentages. Its more like the true victims are not PS3 users but PSN users.

However the true victims of rrod were 360 owners, not just XBL users.

The victims of the Sony hack are PS3 online users, PSP online users, Qriocity users, SOE users...

If you go by number of people affected, the Sony hack is affecting many more people than the RROD did. The RROD is just more of a pain in the ass for a particular user (at least until the leaked private info starts biting).

In the end this is a apples-to-oranges comparison, because a hardware failure is quite different from a software failure... Let's just say that both the RROD and the Sony hack are very bad in different ways.

PS: If the leaked private info starts creating headaches for a significant number of people, IMO this will mean the Sony hack is much worse than the RROD was.

 

The PSN hack not  only affected all PSN Users, it also affectet Gamedevelopers, the guys who made SOCOM maybe made there last Game because of the PSN goes down. All  Gamedevelopers who make Games which heavy rely on multiplayer or only be available over the PSN, are fucked of because of that. Valve with Portal 2,  Midway with Mortal kombat 9, and the Socom developers, and many small independent Developers. The PSN hack goes way beyond the 70 Million PSN Users.
