Haha, I like your post, and you better be using those cfl bulbs goddog, or else you will have a hand in global warming wiping out the earth...or something like that. I totally agree though, I leave my 360 and PS3 on almost all the time, sometimes for days. I have a macbook pro with the new core2duo, that is on or in hibernation, and almost never turned off. Also, my last mac desktop was off maybe 5-10 hours in the 6-7 years I owned it, not a single problem with it too until the HD took a crap on me, but sh*t happens.



Currently Playing:

PS4 - Killzone:SF and Assasins Creed 4

 

XBox One: BF4, CoD:Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5

 

Changing channels with my voice: priceless!!!

yea HDs are a problem, my original macbook pro had a fan falure while it was nedering on a stand, i heard this good awful noise, when i came back from lunch touched it and burned myself, when i checked the heat sensors (im aslo a mac tech have all the cool diagnostic softwares) it was running at 320f for the cpus... considering safe operational temp ends at 185f..... something i miss from the powerpc chips, thermal runaway mode, automaticaly starts a shutdown sequence if your cpu excedes 20% of safe operating temp. oh well swaped out for a new mac, gotta love the apple care.


also where i live happens to be one of the cheapest places to buy power in the usa, thanks to TVA, mainly power through hydro, and nuke, a few coal, we have 2 powerplants around here that have never even gone online, though they are considering it to help shift power further north through some sort of grid shift.... i didnt understand the whole thing

Official lifetimes of consoles:

NES: 12 years (1983-1995)
SNES: 13 years (1990-2003)
N64: 6 years (1996-2003)
GCN: 6+ years (2001-present)

SMS: 14 years (1986-2000)
GEN: 14 (18) years (1988-2002, unofficial 2006 re-release Beggar Prince)
SAT: 6 years (1994-2000)
DC: 9+ years (1998-present)

PSX: 11 years (1994-2005)
PS2: 7+ years (2000-present)

XB: 5 years (2001-2006)

The PlayStation was in no way the first to hit 10 years. And in fact, of all the systems that have broken 10 years (Atari 2600 and Neo Geo included, 15 and 14 years respectively), the PS is actually the shortest-lived of all of them.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Great post WiteoutKing! It has a much more comprehensive comparison than anything else in this thread (though I'm sure sieanr will be happy to remind you of the Neo-Geo) and dry facts are much harder to twist around.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
