RROD was exposed in mid 2007. Thats a year and a half. Sales still continued. People preferred it over PS3.
And by "current" I think he means 2012 current. Like modern current.

2008 was when the 360 got a drastic motherboard redesign that effectively ended huge fail rates. you know that.
and exposed means little. media and promotion is everything in the US market

Hardware is just about motherboards?
Once again... I'm talking about build quality, user experience. The current PS3 is frankly pretty cheap, cheap plastics and some flimsy mechanisms. Not a criticism, just an observation.

PS3 has not had to have their chips replaced as many times as the 360 and the overheating of the old 360's was a massive problem. People had to suffocate their 360s with towels and risk their warranties to keep them on life support.

Being obtuse on purpose?
We are talking about the current iterations.
The PS1 and PS2 were shit build quality, didnt stop them selling it? Sony denied that too... until they lost a class action lawsuit and had to compensate every single user.

I never got compensated and I was a launch PS1 buyer... Mine overheated like most PS1 launch consoles... I had to pay 75 dollars out of pocket to get a new PS1 that didn't overheat (I was even flipping my launch PS1 upside to avoid overheating/freeze issues which eventually that didn't work). The launch PS1/2 consoles were riddled with reliability issues. After hearing that early PS2 consoles had DVD problems I was happy that I swore off buying from Sony since the PS1 era. If I went through the RROD problems on 360 I would not be a Micrsoft consumer (even though I would never be).
