A very odd statistic that my friend told me (he owns a shop for repairing and customizing Wiis, Xboxs, and PS3s in the Atlanta area) is that the same amount of PS3's break down, if not more than the Xbox 360.

Apparently the Yellow Light of Death is srs bizness.  By the way I figured out that the reason both my TV and PS3 are broken because of a power surge.  Thanks to my Homeowner's Insuarance I will be getting my TV and PS3 replaced in a little while... funny thing is I will be getting a brand new PS3 and 70 inch TV and I can repair both the PS3 and TV by myself for under $75 bucks.  Good deal for me, free TV and PS3 Smile.

yea with the older models the YLOD is becoming an issue, obviously nowhere near the RROD but it is becoming more appaerant as of recently it seems.

I believe what Moroes said, because Microsoft's customer support from what I hear is better than Sony's so more people send it inrather than take it to a repair shop. By no means does that say the PS3 breaks down as much as the 360.

Thats probably the truth, but YLoD has become a very big problem (maybe not as big as RRoD, but Microsoft doesn't ask you for $150 bucks to fix it unlike Sony). Not exactly sure about the statistics, but anywhere from 5-25% of PS3's before the 180 gig have yellow lighted.  Don't quote me on that, but thats somewhere near accurate I believe.

including the "apocalyPS3"? Tongue out

 

well, 360 is definitely higher than the other 2 together, that i'm sure. and the wii is last... if you don't consider nintendo's "lets murder every single modded wii with our new update!"
