6/29/07 gamespot's xbox 360 poll

i know users could have b.s.'d on the poll, but i doubt this many have...

according to the poll, as i'm typing this, 8:34am pacific (not including users who do not own a 360):

- 8678 users own a 360

- 3926 users have had one fail (45.2%)

- 4752 users have not had one fail ( 54.8%)

i own all three consoles and love them each in their own individual way, but its a little difficult dealing with this average... especially since i've had mine fail THREE times, each replaced with a different, refurbished console... i've bought 8 360 games that i would love to play, but gotta deal with this load'a... grrr

that isnt acurate percentages, its not overall owners, wich leaves it up to unbalanced one way or the other with fialures

note: i have a launch day that still works fine

Mine never failed, I didn't see a poll on the main page anywheres. Oh well.immortality20

If you didn't see the poll, then you're out of your element. Go check it out. Front page, bottom right.

I dont think this will work cuz obviously every xbox360 fanboy is going to say their 360 didnt fail :roll: But any way almost half of people had have one Failed

Yes, because everyone who visits the front page is associated with an animal faction.

IPQ

So no one can say their 360 didnt break ?

What about someone like you who fears competition and voted that their 360 has broken before even though you dont even own a 360.

""my 360 works fine"-lemming" According to you,if we have a working console,were liar :roll:

You're saying there's an almost 50% failure rate?

Sure it is an accurate percent, it makes the 360 look bad. Remember anything that makes the 360 look bad is 100% true.:roll:

WRONG!!!!!!!!......Cows are voting for "Pfff dou you think i would actually get a 360?"

shadow_hosi

same here

They wanted to do a similar poll for the PS3, but the lack of play on the system meant that people couldnt actually comment accurately. chumpion69

Well, who said you needed the system to push a button?

If all you're saying is this poll doesn't produce an accurate failure rate, you are correct. It's an internet poll, people with broken 360's are more likely to particpate and you do get a small amount of untruthful particpants.

But if you're trying to argue that there is no problem(s) with the 360, you are very much incorrect and need to pull your head out of the sand and stop being such a tool.

It'd be interesting if Gamespot were to set up similar polls for the other consoles.

This is not a random sample, it is a collection of the votes of anyone on Gamespot, who happened to see the poll, who either had a broken 360, dislike the Xbox 360, want to create data to discredit the 360, et cetera. There is not even a means of enforcing a "one vote per person", let alone forcing those pesky "working 360" owners to vote - nor do we have any means of demonstrating the sample is representative of the whole.

In any case - to put it simply - if you believe the Xbox 360 has a nearly 50% failure rate, you are of the type of person who believes anything blindly, so long as it supports their biased viewpoint - and I feel a deep pity for you

There aren't 5.5 million broken Xbox 360s sitting silent, their gaming stilled by hardware failure... so please, enough with the reliance on poorly collected data. I assure you, in the right conditions I can create a poll that (at least if you consider this Xbox 360 poll "proof") prooves that 50% of Gamespot posters are actually vampires or werewolves.

Yes, because everyone who visits the front page is associated with an animal faction.

Fixed:

Out of the 45.2% failure rate votings,

15/45.2 = Sheeps

15/45.2 = Hermits

5/45.2 = Cows

5/45.2 = just hate Microsoft

5/45.2 - just like voting FAIL

I'm a vampire. Werewolves ftl.

Also, anything above a 20% failure rate would be in the news. I mean, that would be class action lawsuit hell. It still may happen, but it would ALREADY have happened if it was anywhere near that high.

That poll on the front page is in no way accurate or reflective of the true failure rates of the XBox 360.

Though I still feel that people who believe there are no hardware problems with the 360 belong locked up somewhere away from the dangers of the real world.

As you have just proved with your proof, 360's never break.

You do know that most the people that come on this board to not go to system wars right? Most people do not send their time saying that my system is bigger than yours.

My console is fine, maybe it's because I don't wrap it in insulation like other people seem to be doing. Seriously though, take better care of your 360's, it's a poorly made console that tends to overheat, ventilate it well, don't turn it off right after playing it for 10 hours straight and you'll be fine.

That's unpossible!

We know all this is anecdotal and somewhat exaggerated but I can see deep down, beyond the damage control, lemmings are scared ****less of their 400$ 360 breaking.

I bet they spend more time cleaning it from dust than playing it:lol:

according to my PS3/Wii poll, both the ps3/wii break down at a rate of approximatly 15%...made it the same do u made urs...which means that since its about 1-3% in real life at least ur numbers are 5x too high...making thr real rate 10%

Yeah, big BIG BS. Take into consideration that people will lie on polls, such as sheep, hermits, and cows. Consider that they're mad and lie, which is most likely what happens. :D No poll is not 100% accurate, not ever 90%, consider how many people in the world own a 360, who have had natural breaks with their 360, people who do something to their 360 to break it (dropping it, modding, Nyko nitercooler, etc, etc). Even look into the 360 forum, with the broken 360 stickey, last time I check there were around maybe 3500 posts there, now see how many people re-post, how many people might actually not own a 360 and are bull *******, and who did something to their's.

wow, you retreived those statistics from between your legs didn't you, where else would such BS come from?

^^^theres a poll there of hardware failure. And no its not bias look at the website its on. I am a lemming, but this is a real problem. i actually just sent my console to texas for repairs. (i live in NY) I bought the console in december 06, so it only lasted about half a year.

stinkypuffs

Yeah Polls are 100% right. In fact I asked 10 people on the internet if they had their PS3 fail on them, and 9 said yes. So that mean that the PS3 must have a 90% fail rate. :roll:

It is a poll on the internet, anyone can say they have a 360 fail. Even if they don't even have one.
