The Xbox 360 is simply plagued by broken hardware, so much so that retailers conclude that around 33% of the systems are faulty. So what about the Wii and PS3? One website sought feedback from another EB games manager who stated that almost no Wii or PS3's have been returned, and in the process deriving that the Wii and PS3 have approximately a 1-2% failure rate.

Retailers estimate that one in every three Microsoft Xbox 360’s sold fails leaving frustrated owners staring at the red ring of death, or worst a black screen that reads “disc unreadable”. When compared to other systems, former EB games associate Matthiew G said…

"Failure rates for all other consoles were not high enough for EB to consider revising their policies. Most other console systems have a failure rate of less than one percent, including the PlayStation 3."
