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...

I find it interesting that anybody bitches about problems with a new game, or problems with a new system (especially the first production models, or even glitches in networks. I guess it's because I've always adopted new tech. early and dealt with the problems I suppose. I remember when it was all about the games... even if your system had to have a laser eye or disc drive replaced, or even opened up and resoldered so that damn red light would stop blinking, it had no bearing on the games for that console.
GTA4 rocks pretty damn hard on either console.
