Shinji Mikami also welcomed the PS1 and Dreamcast with welcome arms before "randomly deciding" to lead develop for a system with middle-child syndrome.
And the failure rates of Sony's systems have always been well within the norms of the general electronics industry, I suppose you're just significantly more liable to hear about them when they're in the hands of 100m+ consumers whilst your nearest relevant competitors doesn't even have 20% of their market share. I don't think it's a coincidence that the PS3 and PSP pretty much got let off with a slap on the wrist.
Now in the case of the 360, where RROD already went viral long before it even surpassed the original Xbox install base, yeah, that's a no-brainer.
Just for the record, I've had disc drive problems with all 3 of Sony's consoles while my OG Xbox is still going strong, but let's be realistic.
