Out of the 2181 survey submissions so far:

891 (40.85%) say they have NOT had a console fail
825 (37.83%) say they've had one console fail
465 (21.32%) say they've had more than one console fail

Overall, 1290 (59.15%) of respondants claim to have experienced Xbox 360 hardware failure.


913 (41.86%) submissions purchased their first Xbox 360 before January '06. Of these 913 submissions:

311 (34.06%) say their Xbox 360 is still going strong

Of course more people are going to respond when they've had a problem. Most people who are just fine don't take the time to fill out and send in a survey.

You know, using numbers based on site polls and surveys really is one of the stupidest transgressions anyone could commit, ever.
