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.

I think the Xbox failure rate is higher than 50%, because honestly, everyone I know, and their friends, all have 360's and we're all on our 2nd, 3rd, 6th for me.
Just when I though they solved the RROD problem, my disc drive is starting to go (making weird sounds it shouldn't), and I am out of warranty.
I still believe the 360 failure rate is in the 80's, and within time everyone's will break until their new console.
