Epic Fail: The Perplexing Fail Rate of the Xbox 360
Last Updated on Monday, 7 September 2009 11:00 Written by Wrathie Monday, 7 September 2009 11:00
Talk about your failures: last month, Game Informer did a survey of about 5,000 people to see how often their systems were to break down. A huge 54.2% of them said that their Xbox 360 failed at least once. If you look at it on a grand scheme, the total amount of Xbox’s sold to date is about 30 million, means that about 15.72 million of them would have failed. 15.72 MILLON. Comparatively to the PS3 and Wii? Only 10.6% and 6.8% were to have failed, respectively.
What makes the research more shocking, is that the chances of a 2nd failure (after getting another Xbox 360), is about 41.2%, or abour 12.36 million more units. Comparatively to the PS3 and Wii? Only 14.6% and 11% were to have failed again, respectively.
