So, I was using those quality critical thinking skills they didn't effectively teach me in public schools and realized something: 360's RRoD (I know, what is this, 2008?) will be like PS2's disk read error.

I know personally I avoided Sony like the plague after last generation, despite thinking that software wise PS1+2 were probably (and probably still are) the best two system's in existance.

My Xbox worked like a charm (didn't go all lawl imonfire from the power cord), was the most powerful and had some pretty first rate games (Halo 1/2, Ninja Gaiden, the only playable version of R6-3, Fable, PGR, etc) and the 2nd controller (not that paddle thingy) was pretty awesome.

So, when 360 came around I was all (&^% you Sony for your disk read error.

And then...

I get a disk read error and/or RRoD from my 360.

I'm telling you people, that's why PS3 lost, but now it's come full circle.

He's saying Sony lost because the PS3 would have DRE erros like PS2 and he Xbox didnt and apparently he;s saying that people were tricked because XBOX 360's have DRE, but Xbox 360's only have rrod, not DRE So he;s still wrong and confused regardless.

How come sony gets a pass for making 2 underpowered and hardware failing consoles but MS makes one console with hardware problems and cows are saying how Xbox sucks and how the 720 will have RROD? So we can forgive sony but not MS? If sony can can correct their mistakes what makes us think that ms can't?

S you're saying that the Disk Read Errors from the PS2 caused people to not buy a PS3 and instead by an Xbox 360. But the Xobx 360 had such a bad failure rate a few years ago that people won't buy the next xbox and will instead buy the next Playstaion?

I disagree. A lot of people chose to buy a 360 andn ot a PS3 because the PS3 was so damn expensive when it was first released.

What TC is trying to say is that PS3 lost customers due to the DRE error on PS2, and now that the next Xbox will lose customers because of the RROD on the 360. This may hold true for a few people but it's not the main reason for what happened to the PS3 at all.

PS3 is in it's current position due to one thing and one thing only.....Bluray, yes Bluray. Because of Sony forcing Bluray on us it delayed the release of the PS3 by one year. It also forced Sony to launch the PS3 at $600. Sure Sony won the HD format wars, but it sure cost them with the PS3. Good thing about the PS4 is Bluray is a lot cheaper now and there are faster Bluray drives. So the PS4 won't have to launch at such a monster price like the PS3 did. I do believe that for some people (like you for example TC) RRoD will play a role in their console choice next gen.

Interesting take on why the PS3 is sitting at the bottom. Albeit just. I have been under the firm belief that PS3 is really number 2. You take out any of the duplicate sales from the RROD problem on the 360 (yes I know it is near impossible to know what the numbers are MS are the only ones who know it and certainly will not release it. ) But if you look at failure rate and then use approximate number I have gleaned from a poll on system wars. That the PS3 would be sitting pretty in number 2. Will anyone want to admit that the figures for sales are inflated due to the RROD problems then they should do a little more research or put the head back into the sand. What about the PS3 YLOD issue, well considering the failure rate is well below what it should have been for a consumer electronics device, which is about 3-5% give or take. This is due to the complexity of the device and the physical nature of it with components requiring cooling etc... But it had some 16% give or take failure, which is about 1 in 6. That is a substantial amount to fail. The YLOD in comparison was significantly lower. But not many companies will release failure rates as it isn't in their best interests. Sony has a good chance of winning the next gen, XBOX also has a chance at winning the next gen. Nintendo I feel doesn't have as much as the other two at winning, since the WiiU, like a Wii Upgrade to HD with a funky yet I am unsure how it will work controller, will not have the 90 million odd user base of the Wii, stating they should upgrade their Wii, just for the HD experience. Many of the Wii user base will be very much like my parents (surprised they have one) and they have bought 4 games for it (one of them I have bought) and it doesn't get used a great deal. So to fork over more cash for an HD version of it, I am not so sure. This is my opinion but I think it is an educated one.

I'd suggust you to stop using them and get a refund :) (j/k)

No, in a serious note, this is similar to having a lucky charm kind of thinking. And just like astrology, its conclusions never leads to anything true unless by coincidence.
