I think it's amazing the 360 fails so much as it doesn't seem to have hindered it's sales! People obviously value quality of games over system ...

Its not that obvious really. People re-purchase their console for a number of reasons, "quality of games" isnt the only one, but it is one of them. dot dot dot

Don't say it isn't obvious then not list any reason's why ..

Do i really need to list things the xbox does well, and that makes people come back? Logic states its not "obvious" games is the sole reason why people go back. And thats really all you'll get.

I think Nintendo consoles have always been good with having low failure rates. My N64 still works, my GC never failed on me, and my Wii is still going strong. Go Nintendo! ;p

Wii is a Panzer!

more complex /strong hardware has higher the failure rates.

that's why wii failure rate is low relative to PS3

The PS3 stats are nothing to be happy about. Is it just me or is its failure rate really going up?

no it's just you..

the first was:

Xbox 360: had 420 out of 1000

PS3 : had 80 out of 1000

that had to have it replaced once:

at most for the ps3 :

120 out of 1000 that could also be for the same people again out of the 1000

at most for the xbox360:

550 out of 1000 , but once again that could very well be the same people that took this.



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

ps:

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

They should add the following category...

Number of failures after 1st year of ownership that people had to pay for:

360: 0% (prolly around 15-20% actually for people who had the DVD drive die and they didn't want to lie and say its RROD)
PS3: 100%
Wii: 100%

Number of failures after 2st year of ownership that people had to pay for:

360: 0%
PS3: 100%
Wii: 100%

@psrock

In 2007 it was said that the Wii and PS3 are pretty close in terms of failure rate if I remember correctly. The numbers in this thread show a notable gap between the two systems, so have PS3s started to break more frequently over time?

So, the first year

2007 = PS3 sold like shit, not many in the market hich might explain why and no games to break it.

The 60gig PS3 which I own has a high failure rate, but There are not that many out there anyway.

I only know 1 system that has 3 year of warranty for 2 issues which cause 70% of its failures.
