I know what you mean about some instances of the problem being caused by misuse, but three faulty consoles for one person who definitely knows how to treat high-end electronics is pretty awful.   Oh, of course there were instances of X360's totally crapping out.  But someone sending in a system three times is...

Wii Play appears to finally be dying out. Thank goodness. And while it could have done much better, I'm pleased to see inFamous get such great numbers.

Ok, since everyone's messing around on off topic, I'll take this opportunity to say that I love my DS and PSP equally. My PS2 and PS3 are still competing for my attention. I curse M$ for making a console that's essentially a ticking time bomb. Get the failure rate below 10% and you might have yourself another customer M$.

360 Outsells Wii and PS3 In Japan     Just Call Me Treestump!

The PS3 has White Knight Chronicles and Final Fantasy XIII Versus (to my knowledge, that's still an exclusive) which no one has mentioned yet.   Thanks for the name "Tender Vittles", Nub! My collection!
