Title: Latest Xbox 360 reliability study: Industry-worst Post by: Tanya on September 05, 2009, 10:17:52 AM Latest Xbox 360 reliability study: Industry-worst
As an Xbox 360 user from day one, I will again assert that this wonderful console is a double-edged sword. It has the best games and the best network of any console. But when it comes to reliability, the Xbox 360 puts up Yugo-like numbers. It's just an industry joke. The latest evidence comes courtesy of a new study by SquareTrade: Game Console Failure Rates: Wii 9 times more reliable than Xbox 360, 4 times more than PS3 SquareTrade analyzed failure rates for over 16,000 new game consoles covered by SquareTrade Care Plans and found that the Wii experienced one-fourth of the common failures that the other systems have. You can download the entire study in PDF form. Among the details: Looking at the first 2 years of ownership, 2.7% of Wii owners reported a system failure, compared with 10.0% of PlayStation 3 owners, and 23.7% for Xbox 360 owners.
