This poll includes the most logical choices, no matter how you slice it - 360 vs ps3, 360 vs the clear last gen winner, and of course the classic ORIGINAL 'just blow on it' favorite console in everyone's hearts and minds.

definitely 360 with the RROD, Scratched disks, some copies of Halo 3 and Forza 2 not working properly.

I just hope everyone who spends so much time fighting over this will take the time to vote and to reply to keep it alive long enough to get this thing 'good and settled'.

You do realise that if the members of a forum vote that a system has a high failure rate, that it doesn't actually mean anything?

Thats like voting that hamburgers eat people; regardless of what the majority says, the reality is the same.

Definitely the 360. There are so many different problems with it that even MS won't come right out and say what the problem is. All they've said is that it's a combination of things that is causing the problems.

Seeing how the x360 got the majority of the votes, you were proven wrong.

Just by the three who voted PS3, this poll fails. You can get almost no concrete information from polls in SW,

Big_Red_Button

I didn't tell anyone how to vote.

But I did switch to IE, so hopefully my words have spaces in them now.

Saying a poll doesn't mean anything is like, well, up to the results of the poll and the community, don't you think? Game ratings dont mean anything. Opinions don't mean anything. Favorite colors don't mean anything. Yet, somehow they are there. But what would you say if your favorite system wasn't the one with the high rate of failure?

Thought so.

I mean - a poll doesn't make a fact true, but it doesn;t make it false, either. It's a poll.

So what's your point?

It's not the same thing at all. Look up the word bias and you'll see why this poll fails.

from what i hear

the 360 seems to be i pretty bad shape. wheter its 33% is debateable but its certainly higher than it should be.

PS1 and 2 were also pretty bad. rubbish disc drives caused alot of units to fail. the XBOX 1 also had some issues with discs being unreadable by certain disc drives. MS had to replace them a few times before they got it right.

overall nintendo seem to have the most reliable hardware.

despite this though....my own experience is actually quite the opposite :S.

my first GC was faulty and my wii gave me some trouble before i got it replaced. my first DS also suffered from dead pixels (quickly replaced at the shop). in contrast my PS2 has been fine. my PS1 did throw in the towel after about 18 months though...the disc drive died. my xbox is dandy and my 360 is problem free (finished H3 on it with absolutely no problems). my PSP is also ticking along nicely.

I have no idea what is meant here - do you mean a lot more ps3 died proportionally, or that none did.

Kinda gives weight to your argument about how hard it is to get 'concrete facts' though.

Dude. It's a poll. Lighten up, or go back to leveling up in WoW or something.

No they meant to say that they like to see HOW those 3 people's PS3 broke. Since PS3 is reliable.

Apparently, it means you're a fanboy and your console is losing.

Notice how I have the choices in the same order as listed on GS across the top (xbox and NES then listed most recent first after that)

Oh, sorry. No offense, but it's hard to cut through the sarcasm and silliness in here sometimes as you can see by other posts.

Actually, my ps3 broke as well. Froze up one day and hasn't booted since. So, I've actually had one of each break on me.

A shame fanboys can't see through the silliness, or they would have read my original post and seen this is JUST a POLL, not some conspiracy againstanyconsole.

Yeah, I think we're concentrating on the 'more likely' part of the spectrum here.

I mean, I think we all know my commodore 64 WILL fail....someday....eventually...after a really, really long time.

Not really the point of this poll, though.

Thanks for playing.

The percentage of 360 votes in this poll nearly equals their failure rate! :lol:
