Great article. The facts are spot on. I’m in the industry and the amount of Xbox 360s i get for repair is huge.

Keep in mind, this was written back in 2007. The Xbox had been out for one more year, with way more failures in that year.

I’m interested to know where you got that number from, for starters, purely in my own store we see about the same number of PS3s come back faulty as Xbox since around 2008, and in both cases, the upgraded system (Elite for Xbox, Slim for PS3) sees a reduction in failure rates as they get better at producing them and iron out flaws. I smell a bandwagon jumping fanboy in your 52% death rate analysis.

Bear in mind yet again we have another upgrade to the console coming out now, which will likely see a further reduction in overall failure rate. This is natural progress.

As for the processing power… such an overload matters little if you can’t actually use it properly, which has yet to be shown to be the case on PS3. Perhaps with the introduction of 3D games next year we will see programmers finally able to wring the best out of PS3, but anyone trying to claim superiority of Sony’s black box purely on technical specs is drinking the cool aid and believing the hype just a little too much.

Actually, xbox has not dominated worldwide, because in japan, and many of the eastern developed countries went with PS3 because it was a credible system. The playstation 2 was the best selling system in history, and still is. Because of that, sony built credibility and really is at about the same level in sales as microsoft, just not in america

Hello,
Names matt iv owned a ps3 for 2 years and got the YLOD I owned an Xbox 360 and got RROD after 7 months. Point is both systems are made of precise technology that even a simple piece of dust or the smoke of a cigarette can destroy. Both systems are capatilist pigs but the Playstation 3 is WAY more enjoyable. Oh and the average person SHOULD care what they are buying, thats why there are so many IDIOTS in todays society.

Well I own a 360 and have had it for 1 year and 3 months with out any problems at all, but the fact so many problems happen is real shame, especialy for xbox fans like myself, I only play for an hour a time and then leave it for half an hour to cool, yes that may sound weird but it realy helps pro-long your xbox's life.

It has not been fixed. My elite died last week. I only had it 1 year and 2 months.

That was also my 9th XBOX 360, I gave up on it, not buying a new one. After 8 repairs Microsoft noticed I had also sold the defective consoles once they came back to me.

They told me, We won’t repair it, we don’t fix E-47 errors which is the card failing – So clearly a graphics error and nothing to do with me.

I used to have a 40GB PS3 also but I traded it for a 80GB one. I’ve never had anything other than a few game freezes on Sony’s console.

True,too much fighting over which console is best, it realy is annoying. If you like ps3 fine, if you prefer Xbox fine. As for wii no one argues about that, it’s weird.

O’well, Happy gaming(hopefully)

Well, the problem HAS been recognised. Anyone who feels like they should comment in a way that suggests it hasn’t should probably note the ’2007′ date in the original post.

Like I’m saying, times have changed. You are now going to have to cross your fingers and pray that your PS3 doesn’t break down just as much as you would 360 (and if you havn’t been a muppet and still have all the original packaging and the receipt, you usually get a year’s warranty at the store you bought it from so just go get it replaced.)

Wii remains the clear leader in terms of console reliability, followed shortly by DS.

Will be interesting, however, given the recent trend of PS3 disc-drive issues, to see if this situation gets better in the coming year. 360 failure has improved a lot as well, so all to lay for now.

I have a playstaion 3 and it is a great console. The wii I have played on and, yes it is fun until your arms feel like falling off. As for the xbox 360, as good as it is the high failure rate should be reconised and delt with.

I spend too long with my fingers crossed will playing xbox.
