PS3 since mine broke roughly a year and a half later, I should have just gone with a 360 from the start and would have saved money and anger back then.


So you're saying you should of went with the 360 which had a even worse hardware failure than any other console in that gen (maybe of any console gen) because your ps3 broke a year and half in? Hmmm. 


Considering I actually went with a 360 and mine never failed throughout the gen, I'd say it was the better deal than simply forking over the same amount it took to buy the expensive PS3 back then (Which was also known to suffer just as much with the YLOD).

Apart from that I suffered no hardware failure in the 360 side.


You must of been one of the lucky few then. How often did you play video games?

Played quite often, online too for around 5 and a half years and didn't have a single problem with it tbh, I don't see how I'm one of the lucky few, you make it sound like 99.9% were factually broken, that and you seem on edge simply because the PS3 was not only expensive at the time but that we were also told to get a second job in order to afford it, also it having it's fair share of hardware issues, the 3 was far from perfect itself.


It had a failure rate of 54.2% while the others don't even have a quarter of that. http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/08/17/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-reaches-54

I'm not disputing anything you're saying about the ps3. It was expensive, it broke, difficult to develope for (I added that bit in) and it wasn't perfect. Now, I'm disputing your perception that you don't see yourself as one of the lucky ones with your 360 not breaking. The only reason why I bothered to respond to your first post was because you said that you should of went with the 360 in the first place and it wouldn't of broke like it had a reputation for not breaking. The fact that your 360 didn't break made you lucky. I'm not making excuses for any console. I'm literally saying that the 360 breaks alot. There's really no rebuttal to that.
