no one is sugarcoating anything.

the ps3 ylodded just as much as the 360's has a rrod.

the difference being that it happened later down the line. people did care that sony made you pay the price of a new slim ps3 to fix it. coupled with the fact that it was mostly the PS2 BC enabled PS3's, and people were mighty pissed because it was the only way to keep having a ps3 with bc.

the funny thing was that it didn't happen that often in the EU, so sony used the EU failure rates in such a way to try and make everyone think that was the failure rate for all regions in total.

it backfired on them, btw

and no one cares that you've never owned an xbox before, i really don't understand why you keep trying to brag about that for some reason

No it didn't and don't act like it was. While I don't have numbers in front of me the PS3 failure was maybe half the 360, and Nin's rate is always in the single digits.

When it happened doesn't matter, we're looking at the percentage. I will agree and say most reports were for the 60gb model but that had a lot of extras in it.

M$ denied the RROD for years. Obviously all companies try to blame the consumer first but this was above and beyond. And it wasn't just that, there were problems with wifi or video chips I thought and disc scratching.

The important part is I don't let my consoles fail. A little maintenance is all it takes. Had I accidentally gotten a 360 then yeah it would be doomed from the start. Seriously though when you look at the games available I'm not sure why anyone would choose XB. Whatever though.
