[quote name='Vanigan']That's funny, because I don't see people giving MS as big a stink about the hardware failure issues as they give Sony with BC, or any little perceived insult against the consumer. [/QUOTE]
I don't know that I would say that. I held off on buying a 360 for over a year longer than I'd like to because of the failure rate. And net forums are full of threads complaining about shipping back RROD systems, MS taking forever to get a fixed console back, threads about looking for Falcons, Zephyrs etc. in hopes to get something that won't break.
The failure rate sucks balls, and I'm still worried about it. But in the end of the day I still went with 360 over PS3 as it was cheaper AND had more games that were must buys for me. The PS3 still doesn't have a true must buy game for me, just a handful of games that I wouldn't mind playing like Ratchet and Resistance etc.
But I think all three consoles get their fair share of flack from other console fanboys on the Net. Sony for being in third, launcing at $500-600, dropping BC, losing exclusives, having "no games" etc. MS for the failure rate, being just "shooters sports and racing games" etc. Nintendo for having last gen graphics, waggle being a gimmick, being kiddy, too many minigames etc. etc.
You just have to ignore the fanboy trolling. It goes on for all 3, but one just tends to notice it more for their console of choice (if they have one).
