WPB: Won't Play Brawl.

Wii's WPB issue: Won't play Brawl, probably won't play any future double-layered disc games. You shouldn't attempt to fix it yourself. Can't return to retailer

Solution: Return it to Nintendo for free repair

 

Xbox RRoD: Won't play games, dead, You shouldn't attempt to fix it yourself. you shouldn't return it to retailer.

Solution: Return it to Microsoft for free repair

 

Now, I own neither console, but is it me or whenever RRoD issue comes up, people calls Microsoft all kind of name, while Nintendo seems to be getting away with all the bad PRs?

 

WPB only happens when your Wii has been kept in dusty or smokey conditions, and its occourcane is far less than 33 percent. On top of that, the Wii isn't bricked when it breaks, it just won't play a certain game. Finally, if your warrenty is out, the problem is easy to fix, with a cuetip and some rubbing alcohol.

 

So, there is a difference or two.
