Seattle Pi lets loose the results of a survey about failures in the 360.”That means 54.2 percent of Xbox 360 consoles fail in one way or another. That’s well above the reported failure rates of Sony’s PlayStation 3 (10.6 percent) and Nintendo’s Wii (6.8 percent). However, when the results hit newsstands in the September 2009 issue of Game Informer, gamers were surprised with the results. No, they didn’t think 54.2 percent was a high rate – they thought it was low.” You can’t argue with results.
