Xbrick360 failure rate = 54%

From the Consumerist:

The Xbox 360 breaks five times as often as its closest failure-prone competitor, the PlayStation 3, a print edition-only Game Informer survey found.

The poorly manufactured, red ring of death-prone console has a 54.2 percent failure rate, compared to 10.6 percent for the PS3 and the Wii's 6.8 percent.

Being the most popular (and thus, the most used) console on the market means that the 360's numbers are inflated, but the raw numbers still suck. That should be of little concern to Microsoft, however:

The most shocking number from the survey — and frightening from a consumer perspective — is only 3.8 percent of Xbox 360 owners said they'd never buy another Xbox because of hardware failure.

It's a shame that PC hardware manufacturers have to compete primarily with each other. But then again, the console guys have had to sell their systems at a loss for the last two generations.
