It already has surpassed the 360 in terms of installed userbase imo. These figures don't take into account the number of replacement PS3s and 360s due to YLOD and RROD, do they..? I know several people that have bought at least 2 360s due to having their console dying. Isn't there something like a 1 in 3 failure rate or is that an urban myth..?


360s that have been available for the last 4 years are every bit as reliable as any other console.

 

More like 3 and a half years mate. That still leaves plenty of consoles out there that are capable of developing problems. The reliability problems of Sony and Microsoft consoles combined with Nintendo's decision to finally drop the TEV Unit in favour of a GPU using traditional programmable shaders has pretty much convinced me to own only 1 console next gen, the U.
