A sizeable new survey has come up with some fairly predictable results regarding console failure rates.
While many of us here are well acquainted with Xbox 360's red rings, having gone through at least a couple of consoles, the latest survey on the matter still makes for shocking reading.
No Fuss Reviews says it polled 500,000 site visitors for each of the three major console platforms.
42 per cent of Xbox 360 owners said that their console had needed repairing or been replaced due to fault, compared to eight per cent of PS3 owners and one per cent of Wii owners.
The survey continued:
If so has your [console] needed to be repaired or replaced more than two times?
360: 39%
PS3: 8%
Wii: 0%
More than three times?
360: 12%
PS3: 2%
Wii: 0%
More than four times?
360: 6%
PS3: 1%
Wii: 0%
More than five times?
360: 3%
PS3: 1%
Wii: 0%
Not pretty reading for Microsoft.
