I think a console should be expected to last at least 5 years for the majority of people, more is of course better.

then what do u think about the ps2, which broke so often that many users are on their 4th/5th ps2 now?

the ps3 may be similiar to the ps2...we'll know in another year or two


I think Sony improved the issues the original PS2 had with regard to drive vibrations (loose screws) and lens dirt. The DVD issues of the 360 is really in addition to RRoD issues.

With regard to the 360 there are many people beyond their 10th console within only 2 years of time, the PS2 has been on the market for much longer. Can you provide any concrete data with regard to percentages? The only figures I found so far is:

"As an example the Sony PS2 had a return rate of between 1 & 2% The PS 3 which has only been in the market for 6 months is less than 1%."

I never owned a PS2 before.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales
