New study shows 360s actually fail 23.7% of the time.

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"][QUOTE="trakem"]

While a warrenty is a good thing, if your console fails you will have to call them and send it in. It's hard to put a finger on exactly how long all of this takes but it seems to be approximately 1 month. That's a pretty big inconvenience.

You take 100 studies and publish the one You want. Bingo.

microsoft already didnt deny 54%. thats closer to the truth then this.sexxxyboy

I thinks it higher than that. When I had a 360 i got the RROD 3 times in a year and a half :|. And pretty much all of friends who have a 360 has gotten the RROD at least once.

Thats still almost a quarter of all consoles. Out of 30 million consoles thats nearly 7.5 million failures, which is unacceptable. If anyone out there thinks this is good, then wow.

Not as high as was previously thought. But still highest of all the 3 consoles.

And Sony is at 10%, shame on both companies. Seems only Nintendo makes quality hardware. themyth01

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="darthogre"] If you actually read the report, it says a big reason why Wii probably doesn't fail as much as PS3 is because it's played much, much, much less. No one plays the Wii so how can it break?darthogre

Fanboy logic says that their console has a zero percent failure rate, all of the good games with no exceptions and that competition from other companies is what keeps the industry from pushing foward. Once you accept this logic, a 2-4% failure rate of the Xbox 360 seems perfectly reasonable.

The Cows are scared the Jasper 360s failure rate maybe lower than the PS3s.
