XBox 360 crashes noted
XBox Scene notes that a lot of early XBox 360s are exhibiting crashes playing games on default settings. The data at the Team XBox forums indicates that about 15% of XBox owners are claiming that they have defective systems. Now that's not a scientific poll; anyone can vote. But it's not a good sign.
Blackfriars noted that we had seen some rendering defects in XBox 360 systems this summer, and that Microsoft had claimed that the systems weren't fully up to final rev. Is it possible that some of the released systems are suffering the same fate?
This isn't an iPod nano scratching problem affecting one percent of systems. If anywhere close to 15% of XBox 360 systems are crashing, this is a real marketing issue for Microsoft to deal with. The question is, will they?
Let's hope the problems are really just scratched game DVDs....
