If just one thread about consoles could avoid fan-boyism :rolleyes:
I mean c'mon, without one, how could you have any perspective?
Are you aware specifically of failure rates and comparative figures thereof, vs sales figures/units sold?
PLEASE don't tell me you're going exclusively on "I heards" and "read on website/forum" information there - of COURSE there's more negative opinions out there, the "public outcry" is never really representative of
a: people that actually OWN a console
b: The REAL case
c: A "large" amount of ANY cases.
...all websites do, really, is get a few negative opinions out there about a product, to a wide audience.

I'm not here defending the system, or, I guess I am to a point.
Like all of them, it's not without problems. They say a 3% failure rate, I'm more inclined to lean towards 5% there...but still, it's a pretty low figure.
"All types of problems" seems a bit of a big statement to make about a console that only really ever encounters one of two problems...
