Um...if I'm reading this right, the way he's calculating this treats repaired systems as though they'd never broken at all.

Unless YLODs are much more common than I recall, I gonna say that that article's bunk.

He doesn't take repairs into consideration at all, which is important especially given the fact that RRO Ds were covered for three years after purchase. If the failure rate really is 30%, then that just means that 24% of 360s were repaired at some point in their life. Of course, on the 360's side, it also doesn't take into account the fact that the 360 came out nearly a full year before the PS 3, so it's reasonable to assume that more of them would have lost "active" status in that time.
So, yeah. Doesn't really mean much.

Interesting.
And Flame Bait, too. Keep it civil.
