Rant: Failure is not an option, itâs included in every XBOX 360

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoftâs XBOX 360 is a lemon. Just about 
| everyone who has owned one can tell you all 
| about the Red Ring of Death. By some accounts 
| they have a 54% failure rate.
| 
| By my count, they have had an 87.5% rate of 
| failure, that is, of the total 8 consoles 
| (yes, EIGHT) Iâve had, only the one they just 
| sent back from refurbishing works.
| 
| If you divide 8 consoles by 49 months 
| (November 2005 â December 2009), a 360 has a 
| life expectancy of just over 6 months, if you 
| use it a few hours a day like I tended to.

Wait for trolls to harp about US-only "fake" statistics and extrapolate for lies.

Xbox has been a _DISASTER_! Ballmer compares it to Zune when he speaks to the press.
They both make no money, just lose money.

Wii, PS3 crow over Thanksgiving success, Microsoft silent

| Thanksgiving week is a boon for retailers,
| both on- and offline, and the big three
| are starting to share their sales data on
| their respective consoles. Nintendo is
| strong, the PS3 did very well, and the
| Xbox 360... isn't giving us anything to
| talk about.
