http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/03/500x_global-glitch.jpgUK bookies Paddy Power doesn't have much faith in the state of console gaming. After the PS3's spectacular shitstorm of a failure this week (http://gizmodo.com/5482365/error-8001050f-takes-down-playstation-network), they're putting odds of 11/8 on it happening again. The Xbox 360 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/xbox360/) meanwhile has 7/4 odds.
Sweet, innocent little Wii, which never hurts anyone with downtime—just a few broken plasmas when it first came onto the scene—has odds of just 2/1. They're taking bets now, with the next console to suffer a "global glitch" that gets reported on the UK Sky News paying out bigtime for those in the know.
