Xbox 360 is 5 times more likely to break than the PS3 (42 more likely than the Wii)

April 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

No Fuss Reviews has the results of over 500,000 responces to a gaming poll that suggests that the Xbox is far more likely to break than the Wii and the PlayStation 3. There is a catch, though.

The 5th instalment of the Pokemon series is on its way. As you might expect it’ll be published first in Japan, probably this Autumn, and for the Nintendo DS. The TV show Pokemon Sunday showed a sneak peek of some of the game footage. We can see a cityscape but also that the camera sort […]
