Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox Failure Rate As High As 16%

According to a report in The Inquirer, the failure rate of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xboxs is running at about 16%. One retailer put the number as high as 33%.

Most industry observers believe that this failure rate will rise as the machines are in use for a prolonged period. Overheating appears to be the main cause of the problems.
