The relevant question is what failure rate from RROD (or anything) of currently produced consoles?

Microsoft, with its Arcade unit price point and some games (esp. on XBLA) is trying to position itself as attractive to potential Wii owners. But it is doubtful that such casual consumers would stay with the consoles after the first failure.

That is why this is still important.

That is the issue I have with lame articles like this, it's very cheap publicity and doom mongering with absolutely zero statistics to backup their "news".  What was the failure rates of the original launch 360's, then the Falcon's and finally the new Jasper's.  They don't know any of this as they've never done any proper statistical analysis to get to the bottom of the problems. 

 

Next bit not relevant to the quote above might I hastily add.

You can spot the pro PS3 camp pratically dribbling whenever a RROD thread arises as they get a chance to constantly dig at the 360, yet whenever articles appear regarding the PS3's poorer software sales and overall sales in general they turn around and say more PS3 is doomed threads.  You're the worst kind of hypocrits on this site.  Unless there is actually some "news" released then why not bump one of the 1000's of previous RROD threads, oh thats right you get no cheap VG$'s for posting a inflammatory article then, also this is Microsoft news not gaming news.



Around the Network

I have had atleast 5 rrod's ( not even joking ) thats why i barely play it anymore. Infact nowadays i dont really see a whole lots of reasons to even keep it

still dont get why im paying 50 bucks a year for an online service that should be free from the start

most of the exclusives end up on pc

i just dont see the logic in keeping my 360 anymore, plus ive had more fun with my ps3, wii, and gaming pc
