First, there is like a 1 in3 chance of the power supply blowing up or catching on fire. Second, if you stand the 360 up, 2 or 3 pins stick out and dig gouges into the disk, and then there were some others I heard.
I'd run those "statistics" by Spartanevolved. Call me crazy but something tells me that a 33.3% chance of an Xbox360 being faulty is extremely high. If they did ship 3 million units like BV said, then that would be like saying they shipped 1 million non-functional systems, a figure that would completely ruin any chance Microsoft had of even competing this console round...
I'm pretty sure they accounted for these kinds of things in the 4 years they spent developing it, and in the time they spent testing it.
Cant vote yet. It all depends if Microsoft can deliver in the software department. Games like Gears of War or Halo 3 will be the deciding factor on whether the 360 is succesful or not.
