I've heard about less and less problems on the Playstation 3 with it's console and games (Although i know that All consoles have it's problems nothing is Perfect 100%) from people that i have talked to and on other websites. But it's still less problems on Playstation 3's. And on the flip side i've heard a number of problems with the Xbox 360's (The Red Ring of Death being the biggest biggest one,Accounts being hacked into via other Xbox Live members etc).

Then why do more gamers continue to Buy Xbox 360's?

You would think that would encourage gamers to Buy a console like the Playstation 3 with it's track record of having a number of less problems and issues with it's launched console so far. But as of right now the Price for the Playstation 3 is holding gamers back to pursue Buying a Playstation 3 (I'm one of them). But here's hoping that once the price of the Playstation 3 goes down (In March/April). That more Playstation 3 consoles will be sold.

Because it's "cheaper" and it has a larger community. It's kinda like the iPod, sure there are better MP3s out there, but since it's the largest(er) known everyone loves it. And parents get their kids it, and kids get it because friends have it, it's a vicious cycle.

Maybe people want the games on 360 more than PS3. Also I know that there are much more people on live than on the PS3. For instance, all my friends have 360s so it's a drag having a PS3 with no real world friends to play with. There is more to it than just failure rate and the RROD is not an issue anymore.

Yeah, this is probably better suited for system wars, but since you asked, I'd say uninformed consumerism.

Your reasoning is quite flawed, if you were making purchases soley on system reliabilty. Well there are alot more YLOD and other PS3 failures than there are Wii failures so by your logic people shouldn't buy a PS3 either. However like others said this is a topic for system wars though it will just be a huge argument that goes nowhere.

red ring of deaths is pretty much fixed at this point, and im sure they will tell you that at gamestop too :) a new xbox should last you long enough, but im sure it would fail eventually, and when i say eventually i mean like how a ps3 would fail eventually....however this is unlike how a nintendo 20 years ago is still going strong
