ASUS found to have the Industry's Most Reliable Motherboards

Am I missing something here? Can you imagine the uproar if one in fifty iPhones had to be returned, or one in fifty PS4s, or one in fifty Xbox Ones - oh, awkward.

the xbox 360 had a 23%-54.2% failure rate The PS3 wasn't much better IIRC. People weren't all that angry about it, where they?

iPhones have about a 5% failure rate, but that includes accidental damage (as far as I can see Apple count that as a failure).

Technology is much more reliable then it was a while ago. It'll never be perfect though. I think 2% is perfectly reasonable as it also will take into account user error.

I've been sticking with Asus boards for years, so this doesn't shock me. Every time I've tried to stray from Asus, something bad happens. It's a weird curse.

I never knew of any PS3s failing that was due to the unit itself like the 360 was with the RRoD. I do however(from personal experience and seeing others) know of some PS3's failing when they were in poorly ventilated areas and overheated to death. However when they were in an open environment not one single issue. Personally, I never had a 360 fail on me either but I got lucky

Technology is more reliable these days, especially motherboards. I remember back in the P67 days nearly every Newegg or Amazon review on motherboards at any price range were filled with hundreds upon hundreds of reviews for defected motherboards. It was crazy bad for all boards. Once Z77 hit, that all basically went away
