You seem to have an understanding of what really happened and the values for the respective failures, so I won't doubt you, but where did you get the info from? I know I read somewhere that the old 360s where way higher than the PS3. I think I read somewhere that the PS3's failure rate was about 4%, but I can't remember where. All sources seem to specify very different values, though.

But I do remember that the 360's failure rate decreased significantly when they changed the boards.

There was a published article regarding the nature of the Xbox 360's failure around the time that Microsoft acknowledged the problem.

To my knowledge, there hasn't been a more recent analysis than the one Square Trade did.  However, based on their analysis, Jasper-based Xbox 360's, which the Xbox 360 S would be similar to, dropped to 1%.

Did you mean dropped to 1% above PS3?

It is pretty interesting. The PS3 is worst for disc read errors (probably due to bluray being new) and the Wii is worst for power (don't know why) and control issues (more obvious).
