Keyofx Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Report: 60% Of Britain's Xbox 360s Have Died Following in the wake of Game Informer's armchair survey earlier in the year - which found that 54.2% of American Xbox 360s had broken down - CNET have done a similar study for the British market. With similar results. 1,128 gamers were polled (note: it was a self-selected survey, not a blind study), with 562 owning an Xbox 360, 473 having a PS3 and 591 a Wii. Obviously, some respondents owned more than one console. The results found that a crushing 60% of 360s had died, while only 16% of PS3s and 6% of Wiis had suffered the same fate. Even worse was the rate of repeat failre: of those who have reported a busted console, 32% say it's happened more than once, with 19% saying it's broken three times or more. Count me in the latter camp; I've had two red-ringed consoles, and recently got back from my honeymoon to find my third 360's power brick had simply ceased to function, despite the console not being turned on. Being a self-selected survey, it's likely the actual numbers across the board would be lower, but still; a little less than awful is still awful.

achilles Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 well.. tbh.. 16% for ps3 is still not low compared to other consumer electronics.. plus the fact that it is not as easy as X360 for an existing user to migrate to a new machine makes it worse.

WhatsInTheName Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 They look inflated because its based on a self-survey. So, its actually not a report - only the results of a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
