It was something more like 1 in 3 Xbox 360's going RROD and 1 in 10 PS3's going YLOD by the time it was in full swing a few years ago. Sony got away with their failures becasue it didn't start happening until much later and to a lesser extent. The first years the PS3 had a rock solid rep. The Xbox 360's however were starting to RROD after less than a year and it was alot worse than with PS3.
Sony have made quite a spectacular dodge on the YLOD to be honest as the failure rate is above normal (just not a catastropic as RROD was). I'm wondering if at some point they will get slammed and my lovely old PS3 Phat (with PS2 back compat) can get a free re-balling :)
BTW Neo, is your Xbox 360 still going?
