I don't understand how anyone could ever trust MS's Next after this gen :/

If you are worried about hardware failure rates buy Nintendo....
I had RROD with 360, but also had to replace PS1, PS2 and PS3 during their lifespan - and I look after my shit... On all 3 occasions Sony did nothing to replace them. At least Microsoft replaced the console, and my original XBOX still works to this day.....
Nintendo? I have all their consoles back to the NES and they all still work.....

Nintendo has consistantly offered durable consoles that rarely break, can't take that away from them.

My personal experience with Playstation has been mostly positive in this regard. My PS1 was a monster, the thing still works even today(the open button is a bit sticky tho). PS2 Fat worked fine for the first 3 years, then the lens died on me, sent it in to sony for free, but I did pay for shipping and handling. Got that console back and it died again another year later. Thats when I upgraded to the PS2 slim, which worked like a dream, never any hitches. The only faulter of quality for me was the Fat version, and I never really blamed Sony for that cuz my nephew dropped it off a high shelf and it was constantly in use.
