61% failure rate fot the 360 (True Story ...

http://www.xboxnerds.com/Xbox-360/news/xbox-360-suffering-from-61-failure-rate-/http://www.360-gamer.com/news.asp?id=964 Microsoft continues to report its standard 4-5% failure rate, but a recent 360-gamers survey claims it's higher...much, much higher. The survey generate 3780 submissions and 2355 comments, most of them from gamers who are upset about their broken 360s. At the time of the results posting, 2,315 complained they've already gone through at least one console, and that translates to a shocking 61% failure rate. The site admits their figures are ''probably skewed towards the negative'' (which is true), but even so, the findings are very unfortunate.Participants also complained of ''lacking consumer confidence'' and shoddy customer service from Microsoft's camp.''This system is poorly manufactured and should have never passed QC. The only reason it passed QC was because MS wanted to launch first so they could make a profit... at the disregard of the consumer,'' says Gamertag mantis01, who then finsihes: ''Shame on you, MS. I will now switch my gaming loyalties to Sony.''That's a little drastic, but even so, this defective problem has not been erased by Microsoft, despite their best efforts. Or perhaps those efforts aren't their best.61% failure rate fot the 360 (True Story ...
Not legit.61% failure rate fot the 360 (True Story ...
Because informal polling is obviously the most accurate form of research :roll:.
I agree though, MS wanted to much money, it was ready to screw us the customers.For that I wil not purchase a 360.

So a survey of annoyed 360 owners found that 61% of them were annoyed enough to skew the poll? Whatever the real number is this isn't proof of anything.My guess is 30%, of the 3 launch consoles we bought only 1 has ever had a problem.
Not reliable, dude. People could say whatever being pissed or something. Not a good source. And I don't think anyone thinks failures are that high.
And this is 360 users saying this.

You just have no idea who's really responding and why.
