360 failure rate.

I find it hard to believe when you told me you weren't a fanboy of PS3.
Aside from that past discussion, Wii has the lowest failure rate because Nintendo made a big decision when it came down to hardware. They chose what would be more reliable.
Also don't judge a system by its size. The Wii does have MANY capabilities, it's just Nintendo for some reason does not want to shed any light on that. From what I seen when researching homebrew for Wii, it made me realize how much "MANY" was.
More on topic, I really don't care if it has a higher failure rate. You just send it in for repair and problem solved. Plus its sales are doing fine, so most people are buying this still despite its flaw.
Lastly, this is a magazine survey. People who read game magazines tend to be more of a hardcore gamer. So I find it's a bit bias there. That and it's a magazine survey, I don't rely on those. I only trust facts published by the system makers themselves.

a fanboy is someone who defends their system even if their wrong, im sgating true facts about the ps3, not blindly defending it, i am also open to other consoles, ive owned every single one this gen including hand helds, but ive finaloy settled down with imo the best - sony, and the wii system failure is lowest because it doesnt require much power to run, the system doesnt work as hard to do stuff and people dont play it as long as 360 or even ps3 at once, also, the survey was random i believe.bud said:
If over half of consoles fail, the majority of 360 customers have had a broken 360... I guess that is now considered a "terrific gaming and entertainment experience". And since when is a majority failure rate create a "superior entertainment console"?Microsoft's official quote on the issue: said:
ive owned a 360, and compared to the ps3, or even the wii actually, its built very cheaply, the day i got it i go to open the disc tray to put a game in, and while its opening, i swear, the thing shook back and forth as if a bunch of gears used to open it were not in the right places or they were missing a few, and it did that to the day i sold it, and the week of my selling, my controller busted, the right analog wouldnt work anymore, not to mention the headset it came with was busted out of the box and you had to pretty much put it in your mouth to talk, i did get a new one with my chat pad though. another thing, when i lifted it off the shelf to put it in the box to bring it to the store, i heard some thing inside roll around, no idea what it was, but the 360 still worked, i have a feeling that if id kept it, it mightve been breaking soon. but yeah 0 problems with my ps3, everything works like a charm and the thing seems to be built with much greater care than the crotchbox.melly said:
My opinion;
Nintendo;
Pros;
1) Fun games if you have friends too play them with.
2) Easy too understand games.
3) A fair variety of games.
Cons;
1) Terrible online play.
2) Can be boring if you don't have friends/family to play with/against.
3) Too many casual games.
Microsoft;
Pros;
1) Great online community.
2) Wide variety of games.
3) Many features.
Cons;
1) Hardware failing but supposedly the latest 360's break down less.
2) The occasional immature pre-pubescent child shouting/screaming/talking in the mic.
Sony:

You can add #2 of the Cons from Microsoft to Sony's Cons. I played a match of Call of Duty the other day with screaming wee ones. :cTyrai said:
