i'm suprised at just how reliable the wii is
also good to see ps3 is more reliable compared to the 360 which is prone to dying

A recent issue of Game Informer had a similar survey (not sure if it was an actual random sample or not, but I think it was a sampling of subscribers) and came up with very similar numbers. Xbox was ~58%, PS3 ~16%, and Wii was less than 10%, I think ~8%. This is from memory, I'd have to find the mag for actual numbers, but I remember showing it to a friend who was debating between xbox and ps3 for a new console. After seeing that and the price drop that soon followed, he chose the PS3 (yay another friend to play online with!). I may have dropped $600 fat bills when PS3 first came out, but when I think about how many times I would have had to get a new xbox by now, that alone makes the decision well worth it. I don't have a single friend who owns an xbox that hasn't broke at least once.

60% is atrocious.
reason why I'll only ever get a 360 is for a couple games, however, these figures alone continue to put me off.
To Microsoft.
please, make a better console.

kyle.

A thing about the Wii..
i think the reason it has such a small percentage of failure, is because it is not a very powerful system. It barely uses any power. The 360 and PS3 are next gen systems, powerhouses. Using a lot of power to operate, really pushing themselves to the limit, whereas the Wii, barely gets pushed to any limits.. kinda gay.
thats just my opinion any way.

No PS3 Slim has got YLOD yet, I read that at a gaming magazine. I agree with Parnakas, Wii uses like 20% of how much PS3 does, and still has faliures, lol.

yeah and the ps3 is the best system out there but 360 has a bigger failure rate (should be the other way around kinda)
so fail microsoft

I agree the ps3 is much better, and I am in the unlucky few that have had to repair my ps3 2 times for the same problem. the blu ray drive keep crashing. it wouldnt read any discs whatsoever. i ultimately repaired it the last time, then sold it on ebay with some stuff, and went to buy a new ps3 but now with 4 years of coverage (sony+squaretrade). now i am worry free playing ps3 hours upon hours. ahhh, the good life

The only thing I am jelous of my Xbox friends for is their online capabilites. They did well there. Still, it's not like all those things they have can't be patched in to PSN.
