"San Francisco (CA) - About one in every six Xbox 360 consoles suffers from the "red rings of death" or other problems causing it to be disabled.
The report is published from SquareTrade, a firm that looks into product warranties. The firm looked at 1000 Xbox 360s and found that 164 of them eventually failed.
SquareTrade also looked at the Wii and Playstation 3, and found their failure rates were around 3%.
According to the report, 60% of the sample consoles that broke down were a result of the "red rings of death," an error message that manifests itself by glowing red lights on the front of the device."
