I agree with you; I thought they were fail proof earlier on. 10% is still a high rate of failure IMO. Also, the sample size was only 5000 people, and the method they used is questionable, but if that is the Xbox 360 failure rate, it's hard to stomach.
Another thing interesting - based on sales "from launch" to the point the system is in the cycle, the PS3 is a couple million consoles ahead of Microsoft. This is at a higher price point, and without a large price cut. I'm interested to see how much of an impact this has on the economics of the video game industry. I don't believe Sony will catch Nintendo in terms of systems sold, but I'm willing to bet they expand on their "from launch" figure, and close the total gap between them and Microsoft.
