Xbox 360 Failure Rate Is 54.2%

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-seems-a-bit-high dept.

Colonel Korn writes "The Seattle PI Blog is reporting that a soon to be published Game Informer survey finally shows the failure rate of XBOX 360s: 54%! The survey also shows the rates of failure for the PS3 (11%) and Wii (7%). Impressively, only 4% of respondents said they wouldn't buy a new 360 because of hardware failures."

    No, there is no control provided by the other response rates.
    Go learn what a selection bias is and report back. This survey is meaningless.

    people concerned about whether the hardware still functions in 30 years are not Microsoft's core demographic

    How about people who are concerned whether it will function after 3 years, which is what the OP said? Do they care about them?

    I highly doubt any console maker cares about you, in fact.

    Then either they are idiots, or you are a moron, because three years is a very short time.
