I thought the European Union had an issue with the Disc Scratching, and not the Failure rates....

 Ah I guess you are right.

About my 90% thing, that wasn't considering that repairs can break, so i wasn't thinking. IF repairs didn't break, they are reaching an astounding level. I still don't believe its quite that bad. I'm not saying they don't have a problem, i just don't think its quite 2500 units a day bad.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Jesus dude how many times are you going to post that link?  You're worried everyone didn't already see it in the other thread?  Please just sell your Xbox 360s and go back to loving your PS3, then nothing will get between you and your first love and some of us won't have to roll our eyes at your posts.

Thank you for your interest in my post. I guess I should have included a disclaimer "I didn't write the article". Hell, the number seems exagerated to me. The part I'm most interested in is that they are waiting for MS to respond. I expect MS to outright deny the numbers but we'll probably get a non-answer, answer. I posted it as a topic of discussion which is what I thought forums were for. Maybe I'm wrong? 

To answer your questions: I am going to post it twice, which I did. I'm not worried about everyone not seeing it. I posted it in the other thread then thought to myself "this actually probably belongs in a new thread". I'll edit my post in the other thread and delete the link if that will help you sleep better at night. Why would I sell my 360's? I like them. I use them everyday. I don't like the defect rate. If that makes me a 360 hater or PS3 lover then so be it. I don't recall mentioning my love for the PS3 in either of the threads your refering to. You seem a little defensive, why is that?

You seem like a total asshole to me...maybe my posts aren't the ones that are being eyerolled.

 


I wish to apologize for acting so rudely towards you, it's just that the topic got to me and I ended up posting something I shouldn't have.  I am going to try to not take things so seriously from now on and just enjoy these forums and the interesting people and discussions it contains.


No problem. Our emotions get the best of us all. I regret calling you an asshole. I just felt blind-sided by your post. My initial comment in this post of "seems like a lot" may have sounded sarcastic or derogatory but was not intended that way.

The 360 is selling a lot more than the PS3 in North America (this site's numbers and NPD's numbers prove that).  Also the 360 is outselling the PS3 in Europe as a whole because of the lead it has in the UK.  And although the PS3 is outselling the 360 in Japan it simply isn't doing well enough to make up for North America and Europe.  The simple fact is the gap is widening every month between the 360 and the PS3 and developers can't help but notice it.
