Big Red One

Link here.

I can't say that I've experienced the Xbox360 Red Ring of Death (ever notice how Microsoft's showstopping errors have the words "of death" in them), although as mused in the article, I probably don't play it enough to cause the error anyway.

Anyway, 54% is far beyond acceptable for a rate of failure. School children would get and F for failure, so what sort of standard should we hold for a corporation full of adults working as a team?

Also, I figured Sony's rate of failure would have been lower than 10% after their experience with the PS2's high rate of failure as well. I did expect Nintendo to be close to that coveted Sigma 6, as ever since NES model 2, they've had around that rate. After all, my Virtual Boy still works, and only a few hundred thousand of those were sold in America.
