[XBOX360]报告称X360故障率16.4％ 三红占六成



有关Xbox 360的故障率到底多高，各家都有各家的说法：Peter Moore还在微软的时候曾宣称只有正常的3％，而一些零售商放言说已经达到了惊人的1/3。

致力于保护电子商务公平交易的SquareTrade最近发表了一份报告，根据对1000多份质保个例的统计得出结论，X360的故障率实际为16.4％，而PS3和Wii使用几百份样本进行统计的结果为3％。

报告还指出，这些出现故障的X360中有60％左右都是致命的三红问题，大部分都符合微软扩展质保计划。

SquareTrade CEO Steve Abernethy表示，随着X360使用时间的越来越长，散热缺陷暴露出来的可能性也会越来越大，故障率也将有所提高，不过他同时强调说，他们并未统计不同版本X360的故障率，但“估计绝大部分都是最初版本的”，也就是新版主机要安全得多。

根据1000多个样本进行的统计能在很大程度上保证结果的可靠性，不过这些样本都仅限于SquareTrade的服务范围，并不具备普适性，因此这个16.4％的故障率也不代表所有X360产品的情况。

Report Claims Xbox 360 Failure Rates at 16%
Significantly lower than some estimates, but higher than Microsoft's.



There's been a lot of press about Microsoft's red ring problem. Estimates of the problem have been all over the map, and when he was working for Microsoft, Peter Moore referred to them as a moving target. Company estimates pinned it at a fairly normal 3%, while some retailers have put the percentage as high as 1/3 of all systems.

A new report claims the truth is somewhere in the middle. SquareTrade deals in selling warranties for electronics, and has amassed their over 1000 warranty claims to come up with some interesting data. The findings were a 16.4% failure rate of Xbox 360 systems, versus a roughly 3% rate for the Sony PlayStation 3 or the Nintendo Wii with sample sizes in the high hundreds. The well-known "Red Ring of Death" error accounted for about 60% of those hardware failures, and thus most system-breaking problems are covered by Microsoft's extended warranty plan.

SquareTrade CEO Steve Abernethy speculated that the future may see an even higher percentage. "It is reasonable to believe these failure rates will increase over time, since the Xbox 360 failure issues tend to increase with prolonged use where overheating appears the main culprit," he said. Abernethy went on to note that while the company didn't track the different variations of the 360, he "would estimate most if not all were the original motherboard."

In taking statistics, the two most important factors are sample size and randomness. By using a pool of over 1000 redeemed warranties, the report's sample size is sufficient. On the other hand, since the sampling was taken from people who have to seek SquareTrade's warranty service out, the possibility exists that the randomness factor could be skewed, leaning towards heavy system users who are more likely to overheat their 360s. This doesn't invalidate the report by any means, but it is worth keeping mind.

1UP has contacted Microsoft for comment, but as of press time we haven't received a response.

回看ＸＢＯＸ，果真一蟹不如一蟹

故障率是怎么算的 没有时间概念吗
一年内三红的16％我信
两年怎么也得50％＋了吧

还是XBOX比较皮实:D

只是测试了1000多个样本啦，肯定不具备普遍性啦。
    反正我个人感觉，三红出现概率应该跟运行360的总时间长度也是成正比关系的。中国拥有360的玩家运行360机器的平均时间应该比世界平均时间要多哦，所以，的确也更容易出现三红。
     附：反正我周围认识的朋友，连带我本人，目前只要知道有360的，不论玩正还是玩D，基本上都三红啦，情况惨烈啊！

卖给国内的都无法送去保修
所以实际故障率应远高于16%

TG两年前的机器在没加任何保护设备的情况下还有不红的吗？

不加额外的散热设备就不要抱有任何侥幸心理了

还差1个多月就两年了:D

06年6月入的,至今健康状况良好,除了有一次不甚把电源插爆了~~~

貌似TG这里第一批幸存的没剩多少了～

国内的都是经过非正式运送的，途中的抖动和拆卸主机单独运送，又经历了多少坎坷多少风雨？

进入国内后又有多少人采用邮购的方式购买？运送时又有多少快递是暴力运输的？

是我一个朋友在国外调查XO三红，发现大多都是在邮购。

应该是保修率吧，如果加上国内那些不能保的那直接奔20了

1000个样本在统计学中已经是相当大的样本了，谢谢
