It's that time again! Time to talk about Xbox 360 failure rates — you know, the Red Ring of Death and all that jazz.

In a survey of the print edition of Game Informer, nearly 5,000 readers were surveyed about the consoles. Here's how console failure broke down:

¥ Xbox 360 has a 54.2 percent failure rate
¥ PS3 has a 10.6 percent failure rate
¥ Wii has a 6.8 percent failure rate

But think about it this way: 45.8 percent of Xbox 360s are JUST FINE. The rest? Totally screwed! Worse yet for Microsoft is that only 37.7 percent found Xbox customer service helpful — compared to Sony's 51.1 percent customer service satisfaction and Nintendo's 56.1 percent.

Yet, only 3.8 percent of Xbox 360 owners say that they would never buy another Xbox 360 because of hardware failure. Masochists!

Thats strange.. the Jasper models are out

Wow.

But you do know the people who've done the survey can easily lie right?

My 3600 just RoD'd once.

I didnt even read the article.. Just read the title(misleading crap)

I dont trust survey's for anything, so I doubt its anywhere near 50 percent

Might as well go to a hospital, conduct a survey and conclude that 100% of all people have some kind of deadly infection brewing. That survey sounds flawed.

This thread was made a couple of days ago, don't remember who made it though.

xbox just wont quit eh

Dupe thread. A veteran member such as yourself should obviously know where the search bar is. I am very disappointed.
