X-Box 360 FAIL.

08.20.09 | Posted by: k. sean pifer

This makes me happy, Microsoft finally reporting the failure rate of the 360 as compared to the PS3 and Wii (and the Wii has the lowest failure rate, btw).

“In fact, a Game Informer survey of 5,000 readers found that the Xbox 360 has an astounding 54.2 percent failure rate. That means 54.2 percent of Xbox 360 consoles fail in one way or another.

That’s well above the reported failure rates of Sony’s PlayStation 3 (10.6 percent) and Nintendo’s Wii (6.8 percent).”

Yes, and even more interesting is the following…

“Furthermore, 41.2 percent of Xbox 360 owners suffered a second hardware failure after sending their console back to Microsoft for repair, according to the survey. PS3’s second-failure rate was 14.7 percent, while the Wii’s was 11 percent.”

Well, I never was a fan of the X-Box, but don’t me wrong it is a decent system; but has nothing on the Wii, of course.. ;)
