PS3 1650 Times More Reliable Than 360

Taken from the techspot home page:

"If claims from Sony's Chris Deering are accurate, PlayStation 3 failure rates are around .02 percent (1 in 5000), well below the industry average of three to five percent. By comparison, Microsoft's Xbox 360 has suffered various reliability problems including overheating and disc scratching, some reports suggest failure rates as high as one third (1 out of 3) of all consoles in existence.

Microsoft has typically remained tight-lipped on what they're doing on the hardware front to address Xbox 360 failure rate issues. The company did announce plans to spend $1 billion extending the warranty of every Xbox 360 to 3 years, though. However, even if Microsoft manages to equip its console with cooler-running hardware, the Xbox 360 still faces an uphill battle to change the ongoing perception of being less reliable than Sony's PlayStation 3.

Nintendo, on the other hand, has yet to reveal any failure rates for the Wii."

1 in 5000 compared to 1 in 3 (1 in 3?!!) is more than 1650 times better.

If I get a PS3 in the next few months it better not break. :x

Yeah MS screwed themself with the 1 year head start. They are idiots and should learn from this GEN and not try to be a show boat and be a hot shot and release a broken console a year early.MickeyTheNinja

They rushed it though. I could of waited another year for my 360 if i knew itll be flawed.

But it's taking them 2 yearsor moreto fix the design flaw, so yeah M$ rushed it.

So if Sony launched the PS3 at the same time of the 360 it would have been bad too?

That's not the problem. The problem is the cheap manufacturing and nonchalant design.

I remember looking at the cost to build each system and while MS spent $5 putting a 360 together the Sony spends $50 to put it's PS3s together. It's no wonder 360s are cheaper because they are made cheap...but obliviously this plan didn't work out great if they are now spending a billion dollars to fix 360 problems. I guess they won't be able to afford a price cut for a while.

Really? Worldwide sales and next-gen marketshare say otherwise. I now that means nothing for anti-MS fanboys who live in la la land, but in the real world it does.

LOL I own a 360 and a Wii, Fantastic_Ninja is my gamertag. Look me up.

I gave my Core to my friend and that was made in like Oct 2005 I think and its running strong but im worried about my new one.

I went to target next to my work, checked out the games section and the 360 there had the 3 rings of death.csgamer7399

Forget that it's going to break, it's un-American to buy the other systems.

or

Show the world you're a retard Give MS your money and they'll give you a shoddy, ill-designed gaming system (or a faulty operating system, but you're a retard so you won't mind buying both).

But we want to play Galo 3 and BioFlop! *runs to a corner and giggles like a 12yo girl*

Knowing my luck, when i get my PS3 it will probably be the 1 in 5000 that breaks down :(Petergeist

Aint that the truth.

But I'm getting a PS3 next year. Hopefully by then it will stop sucking.

Well it's official lemmings. The PS3 is 1650 times better than the 360.SweetSurrender1

:roll:

Yes, the PS3 is better built than the Xbox 360 (by far), but at the moment it is not half as good because of its lack of games. There are a few very good games on PS3, but Xbox 360 has many more at the moment.

And as for people saying the Xbox 360 is unreliable... I can always rely on my Xbox 360 to crap out on meat some point ;)

If I get a PS3 in the next few months it better not break. :x
