^ I officially want immunity from getting banned if I ever say the wii is 100% fail due to teh wagglez :p

wii PS3 1ish%

360 30ish%

See squilliam's post above.

Wii 1%
PS3 2%
360 33%

Stop being so ignorant people.  See squilliam's post above.

If we go by launch figures it is probably a lot like:

Wii 3%
PS3 20%
360 40%

If we go by current state:

Wii 1%
PS3 3%
360 5% or less

I'd say:

Wii 5% (There's that pixel issue a while back)

PS3 10-15% (YLOD is starting to pop up a fair bit with launch consoles)

360 20% (RROD reduced, but every console sold before the new chipsets were brought in has the same risk of failure).

How am I being ignorant and you aren't? or Squilliam isn't? Were is the proof that the PS3 is way higher than everyone thinks? We know the 360 had a bad failure rate because of all the publicity it got, and lawsuits, and they themselves extending the warranty because of the failure rate. But where is all this proof for the PS3? A couple forum posts by angry people doesn't equal a 20% failure rate...

Lumping YLOD for 60Gb consoles in the total doesn't make sense if RRoD for older 360s isn't taken into consideration.

Wii is abit under 1%
PS3 is abit under 4%
360 is about 10%-15%, which is a big improvment since it used to be at 33%.

You need some serious proof to say that any complicated electronics equipment has a 1-2% failure rate. Thats atypical especially knowing that the PS3 is a high thermal load and complicated piece of hardware, that has both an optical drive and mechanical HDD. Furthermore theres plenty of strong anecdotal proof to support this like for instance twesterms workplace had ~80 people recieving 40GB PS3s when they were just released and within about a year and a bit had ~10 failures.
