Xbox 360 Failure Rate over 50%
Everyone knows the Xbox 360 is a poorly manufactured piece of crap. Don’t get me wrong, I really love the console, but the death rate is alarming, and Game Informer has finally put a number on things.
According to their most recent issue, the folks at GI claim a whopping 54.2% failure rate for Microsoft’s next-gen console. The stat comes from a survey of more than 5,000 console owners, of which only 3.2% said they would never buy a 360 again.
Maybe 50% just sounds bad, right? The other consoles are struggling too from massive usage stats, right? Not exactly. The PS3 has a failure rate just above 10% and the Wii led the group with a measly 6.8%. So the 360 is failing 5 times as often as the console it’s outselling by a mile, and consumers still aren’t fed up enough to stop buying the damn thing. Infuriating as it may be, I have to say, “Nice work, Microsoft.” Really, it’s sort of impressive that they could pull that off.
Maybe the failure rate is the reason it’s outselling the PS3! (I can’t believe it’s still outselling the PS3.)
xbox is the best doo halo 3 odst is the shiz. ps3 is only good for cod waw because if someone doesnt have a map pack then someone else that has already purchased it can simply let them log on to their name and they redownload it to their hard drive. i believe that is a disgrace. ps3 can mouf it. although the web browsing is pretty g and i think xbox should do that since ps3 stole so many things from wii and xbox.
