The PS2 had a far greater failure rate than the Xbox. Though both were garbage compared to the gamecube failrate wise, just like both the 360 and PS3 have insanely high fail rates compared to the wii, but I guess thats because wii hardware is very weak and so produces little heat.

Actually the PSP sold more in the United States than in Japan. The United States has been the biggest market of any country for every single console this gen and has a 19million lead over Japan in handhelds this gen.

Obviously if microsoft were to make their own handheld they would hire more studios, but regardless its never going to happen because it just isn't profitable and phones are already getting the specs nessessary to play full fledged games. 

You have a source for that? I know more ps2s failed but that;s only because more ps2s were in existance, if we go by % I'm pretty sure xbox was worse. Also it's not about heat it's about the wii being last gen tech, the longer tech exists the lower the failrate, companies usually do a good job considering the cutting edge tech they work with (MS being the exception)

I looked at the regions psp sold 8 mil more, though it doesn't break it down by country. So again link? 

Where would they get these studios from? As it is half their studios are unproven and they ran a ton into the ground already. 

uhhm so you wish to get sources throwing something in the thread like "all microsoft hardware products have a higher failur rate"? maybe you should give us sources first to prove that zune had a higher failure rate than other devices with same functions or that the original xbox had a higher failure rate than the ps2!

 

you just sound like "i hate microsoft so what i say has to be true microsoft fails to produce hardware all the time and they will always fail"

and even if it's true that all their products had a higher failure rate doesn't mean this will be the case in the future. you talk about products from one decade microsoft has to learn like every company has in things they don't do for 100 years. man just look at the car industry there is always a time some manufacturer fails for some years with bad products but that doesn't mean the company has to be bad in producing cars.

toyota for example was almost without problems and from one year to another some models had huge failure rates. same with mercedes or whatever. few years later everything is ok and they have much lower failure rates than other car manufacturers. so just because some toyota models had some big problems doesn't mean the next ones will have these problems as well.
