I would believe maybe 5-10% but no way do i buy 35% of PS2's have failed over time. I know there were some bugs in the first few versions, but they corrected it much quicker then MS has corrected their problems.

What is the typical failure rate after 2-3 years on consoles say from 16 Bit on? Are you saying that failure rate is the norm, or excessive?

16 bit on is not the right comparison. It is optical media and hard disk drives on. Sensitive moving parts = bricking consoles. I know a decent chunk of people with PS2s along with myself, every single one ended up replacing it at least once. Same story with PS1. Heck, even back to the days of Sega CD - anecdotally at least, those things fried faster and more often than probably any console to date.
