There has been a lot of talk about the failure rate of the 360, with some pegging the failure rate of the system as high as 30%. Microsoft has claimed that the failure rate is a paltry 3%, however, the truth as always is somewhere in the middle.

60% of the failures with 360s were RRODs. the other 40% were for other reasons. 100% of the failures makes up about 16% of all consoles (based off a large enough sample set, they are making this claim)
