- gamemaster357, on 10/10/2007, -7/+74the reason Microsoft isn't releasing the number of failing 360s is b/c the number is unacceptable in the eyes of most consumers....
- spira1he1ix, on 10/10/2007, -39/+102360 fanboys only want validation of their decision to buy a 360, which was probably the correct choice at the time. However, the price drop makes the PS3 a better choice. Say what you will about games, but the playing field will be level in a couple of months. Talk to me in a year, when the PS3 is the top console, and you’ve already spent $300 on accessories for the 360. The only system more overrated is the Wii, which may be the most overrated console of all time.
- lesty420, on 10/10/2007, -9/+53I know people are going to say Sony is lying but so far Microsoft hasn't released a number for how many 360s have failed.
- WhereAmI, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41It's rated at 30% by retailers.

Personally I think it is more than that, but still less than half. - elvenseven, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30Not bad compared to 1 in 3 lol
- NipGrip, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Good to know!
Bring on the XMB in games so I can see what my friends are doing and invite/chat them! - JayD16, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Hello, Pot. I see you've met Kettle.
- bigbadgoat, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21who signs your pay checks?
Does he hold a position at microsoft? I think so. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+25fanboy fanboy fanboy fanboy I wonder how many times someone will make a post with the word fanboy.
stfu. - aegis9975, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21I'm running Folding@Home 24/7 since it was released, hence have my PS3 constantly on for several months. Been bullet-proof, and this is with my air-con being broken for close to a week in July (and ridiculously hot weather approaching 100). My PS3 kept chugging those WUs in my boiling hot living room with no air-con.
- tmfan00, on 10/10/2007, -19/+34PS3 > 360
- spira1he1ix, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17So you don't think the 360 has a high failire rate? Wow.
- hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17i'm sure editors and writers of major gaming news outlets (for example kotaku, who have had many a feud with Sony), are just out to screw microsoft. and i'm sure microsoft just extended the warranty because they are that nice. and i'm sure the reason they wont announce what the actual rate is because its so low that our heads would explode.
- silverwolfe, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16The 360 has an XMB? I thought Sony was the one who did the copying. :P
- MrSteamTank, on 10/10/2007, -7/+20Well it was evident that Sony would be producing the best hardware considering their background in electronics. I'm just surprised how badly Microsoft screwed up on quality control with the xbox 360.
- WhereAmI, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Seriously wageslaven? Seriously? You are going to comment on this story? Rape.
See his history and replies to his submissions and comments for explanation. - pgsalas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12What are the odds? Uhh...1 in 500?
- coheedcollapse, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16Care to back your ***** cough up?
Oh wait. You're just being an uninformed smartass. Gotcha. - hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12"grilling machine"? you can just call it a grill.
- chazuk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Because you work in the returns department?
- kingfoot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13s'only an update away!
- Myonosken, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Does it matter? 0.2% of a couple of million means that one guy's really isn't that important. See, Microsoft need to get this part of their act together- I'm yet to have a fault with my 360 (1.4 years old, and counting) but it's just too big a risk if I were to buy a console today.
- elvenseven, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjsimmons/880915987/
- Morphine7399, on 10/10/2007, -11/+20Who is validating their decisions?
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10it's from joystiq, they're not biased articles, they're just focused on specific consoles. There's a 360, and Wiifanboy as well.
- swean, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Its also good news for people who are wanting to buy one.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -14/+22Again, I hate to sound like a fanboy, but the PS3 games just seem better to me.
MGS looks better than Gears and Halo combined.
Little Big Planet looks better than Viva Pinata
FFXIII looks better than Blue Dragon
And then there's Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, LocoRoco, Singstar (all of which I can't even think the 360 has games to compare to), and all the other great multi-platform games coming out this year. - elvenseven, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9This guy is getting ridiculous.
- GruntboyX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10I can agree the Wii is overrated....besides Wii Sports and Wii Play...and maybe Zelda I was suckered into buying the system. At the end of the day i just surf the web with it (painful experience), and just let it sit there flashing at me that its been updated. I dont care you have been updated you dont have a damn thing worth playing! ....sigh... the wii was a total waste. $250+ all the controllers...i was out almost as much for my 360.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Sony is a hardware/electronics company. Microsoft is a software company.
- shirosamurai, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9To get so angry over a stupid comment about your video game system...
This is what console wars do to people... - MUFDVR3669, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Why do you get so upset??? It's only a console.
- diggrim, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10same here...it's all a matter of taste, but the failure rate is alarming
- roxya, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7It's because that build of Motorstorm is buggy :/ Not the fault of the unit itself.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Holy *****, you're an idiot. Microsoft didn't rush out their console, but Sony did?
hahahahaha! hahahaha!
haha. hmm. ha. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5What does sales have to do with what game appeals more to me? I have about as much interest in playing FPS games on a console as I do third-person on a PC.
- jacksons98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6@TJATL And lets remember why X360 "currently" has more games. It's because they knowingly launched a defective console a year early just to get a jump on the competition, not something I respect them at all for doing.
- Ajajadude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Marvelous. Best Buy couldn't find anything better to do with them?
And this relates to failure rates how? - Sairynn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Look at it this way... now you've got confirmation that your PS3 will still be working when all those great games finally come out.
- Hatefull, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I remember the good old days when game companies used to tout their games, not their failure rate.
- BattleScars, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Halo did not sell 14.7m copies. Your link claims it sold 5million copies. That 14.7m figure encompasses the entire Halo collection (Halo:CE, Halo PC, Halo 2, Halo 2 PC). Therefore you are wrong, Vice City for the PS2 outsold Halo by 8million copies. Next time, read the information in your own link.
- joeshlub, on 10/10/2007, -11/+16Your lying out of your ass. I'm not a fanboy in any direction, but just shut the ***** up man, your so full of *****
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9Agreed. The Ps3 has more out and coming out that appeals to me as a console gamer.
- ragunax, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I like to think that I have the first faulty PS3 sold in America. I bought it launch day, and the Video-Out ending up being faulty, through HDMI, Composite and Component. Called a Sony Rep and they were SHOCKED! Two days later I got a Return Box for the system, and another two days later I had a replacement system. I was very happy with the support, but I ended up selling the system shortly thereafter.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Display units lock up often for software reasons. Running a game for weeks straight gives you a big chance of just hitting a plain old bug.
- kingfoot, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8you are short 4-5 million. tool.
- spyderfreek2k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4MY ps2 works great....6 years later....so does my cd walkman i bought 7+ years ago...my sony camera? works flawlessly. Sony makes good hardware, can't knock them for that.
DRM, Root kits, ***** games? Knock all you want. I doubt they would lie about a .2% figure, Its something that could be dug up fairly easily, and seeing as news like that could give stock shares a boost, it would be flying in the gray zone of legality. - dethsesh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6an innovative console which basically puts every game using the wii mote as point and shoot, something you could do 15 years ago with the zapper
- BattleScars, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5It's already on the list of confirmed features for V2.00, they just haven't ironed out all the creases yet. You see Sony take the extra time to get things right first time.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4There's Motorstorm and Resistance. I know the PS3 has ***** for games right now, but so does the 360 (in my opinion).
