Sony, the least reliable console maker IMO

seriously. i have gotten 3 to 4 ps1s(most recent can barely read a game) 2 PSOnes (one still in use), 3 PS2s(one water, one power, one still in use) and now technically 2 ps3s(1 BR player, now the YLOD). how many do you want to know of other companies?

1 NES, 1 SNES, 1 N64, 1 PS1, 1PS2, 1 NGC, 1 PS3... the trick is to actually take care of your stuff, you know??

blog it

There is no imo about it. The 360 has higher failure rates then the PS3. The PS3 has higher failure rates then the Wii.

'Imo the PS3 has sold more then the 360.' Just because you say imo doesn't mean you can say anything. It just doesn't work like that.

Then your luck is truly a stinker, man... andthere's no fighting that.

Take care of your stuff better, my only console that doesn't still work is my original xbox.

If you include the previous gens, sure. The ps1 and 2 were extremely unreliable. I remember a lot of people had to orient the ps1 at some weird angle on its side to keep it from overheating.

Your blaming Sony for spilling water on your PS2? :|nintendo-4life

Pretty much this. Take care of your consoles TC. Thats yor fault not Sonys.

one thing is fact is that the GCN i have, the controller pulled it and it quit but hitting it on the ground made it work again

Cant say I've ever had a console fail on me. I did sell my launch 360 to a dude knew years back and it RROD'd on him a few months later, but that doesnt count.:P

'"The majority of Xbox 360 owners are having a great experience with their console and have from day one. But, this problem has caused frustration for some of our customers and for that, we sincerely apologize," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division.'

http://gizmodo.com/5015483/microsofts-1-billion-xbox-360-recall-problems-caused-by-chip-cheapness

"Microsoft's red ring Xbox 360 problems have cost the company about a billion dollars in warranty repairs, but the research vice president and chief analyst at Gartner said that the hardware problems were caused because Microsoft wanted to be cheap. Instead of using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) vender to make a graphics chip for the 360, Microsoft decided to design it themselves and have Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing create it. This saved "tens of millions of dollars" in design costs. Yes, only tens of millions."

..

Yup.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Your anecdotal evidence doesn't amount to anything meaningful. The 360 has a higher failure rate, period. Whether your opinion on the matter is different or not means nothing.

If the Xbox 360's failure rate utterly blows the PS3's out of the water like everyone says then I must live in the twilight zone because I still have yet to have my Xbox 360 break down on me yet my week old PS3 is freezing up a storm.

But the PS2 had a well known issue with its discs drive. You could literally damage it by just playing DVD movies on it... What PS2 you had? Cus I don't know a single person online or in real life that had a fat PS2 that lastesd them more than 4 years.

And to that add the first revision of the PS2 slim that came without fans so no matter how much you took care of it sooner or later the console was going to die of an overheat.

Yeah, I'm aware of that problem, but luckily I never run into it. And TBH I don't know what model of PS2 I have (cuz it still works)... the phat one?? :P

hmm really? i still have my launch ps1, launch ps2, and i traded my launch ps3 for a slim one only because they had a good trade in offer at gamestop for one week only.

Funny how my 14 years PS1, 10 years PS2 and 4 years PS3 still alive while I went through 2 360s (the only console which I had to rebuy in whole life my NES, SNES, Mega drive, Dram cast and MSX still alive till this day).

That's what I was thinking, anybody that goes through that many consoles sounds like the video game equivalent of a wife beater. :lol:

Yep same here.. along with the fat ps1 and now i have a slim ps3. I bought the slim cause my xbox broke 3 times and i gave up on microsoft. I also own a mac :P

microsoft screwed up with the 360 hardware wise, ps3 more reliable

last gen sony screwed up with the ps2,

seriously. i have gotten 3 to 4 ps1s(most recent can barely read a game) 2 PSOnes (one still in use), 3 PS2s(one water, one power, one still in use) and now technically 2 ps3s(1 BR player, now the YLOD). how many do you want to know of other companies?

1N64, 1 PS1, 1 genesis, 1 PS2, 1 ps3, 1 pc...take care of your stuff...btw it seems as if your consoles no longer work because you screwed them...why do you blame the company for that? its not like they do indestructible consoles... and even if the consoles didnt stopped working because of you, you would only be part of the unlucky 1% to have a defectuos sony console...while the xbox has rates like over 10%

360s explode if you look at them funny... Plus they sound like a jet engine on low roar.

I only know people who have had their systems fail on them

But luckily it has never happened to me! :D

I see that the 360's reliability is once again under attack by ignorant posters here in System Wars!

i believe that ps3/360 are failure rates are more effected by playtime. These systems get very very hot, my launch system lasted until i got gtaIV and didn't stop playing for a week.

these systems are much much more susceptible to ambient room temp, airlflow in the room (my 360 can actually work as a heater in my room), and just average temperate of where you live.

The more you play, the hotter it gets, eventually it will kick the bucket. And people who think the 360 was rushed manufacturing, its not, the type of metal used to mount the chip wasn't as good at handling the heat, but at the time, that was standard for chips, ATI/NVIDIA both had a line of cards that failed for the same reason but in the general desktop case ATI/NVIDIA just changed the specs of the cards when they changed the metal. Unfortunately a console is stuck with the specs and any changes made prior to the release will be kicking dev's in the nuts. So microsoft was stuck with it.
