Oh, let me correct that. The 360 RROD issue was not recognized by Microsoft until July 5th. 7 months after the launch. Before that Microsoft stuck to the mantra that their consoles had the typical 3-5% failure rate that normal electronics have (make note that compared to this Vita overheating issue). Obviously that wasn't the case but they didn't acknowledge it at that point. Studies range from 23.7%-54.2% of the first 360s broke. To compare the PS3 YLOD has a 0.5% but PS3's first two years had a 10% failure rate for other problems. I think Wii had a similar 10% figure.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
