Do You know that the majority of that broken 360 were replaced by MS, with a HUGE cost to them? Don't you know they even extended the warrantie because of that? in Europe MS replaced your 360 during 3 whole years for RRoD without asking nothing, and givin away free months of gold or even games, as a compensation? You know that without RRoD the 360 would have been WAY more profitable, and without all the negative press during the early years they could have already sold more units?

Have you seen that the total software sales of the past generation? The differente between PS3 and Xbox 360 are around 30m games in favour of the 360? what are you talking about? you're just trolling.

You made that up.  The majority of broken 360s were replaced again and again by the people who bought them, but fuck the consumer, right?  Didn't read the rest.   The correct statement is that Microsoft offered to replace there broken shit because it was their broken shit and they were required (in some cases) to fix their boken shit... lest there wouldn't be a Xbox brand today.  I suppose there are people who will actually get on their god damn knees and praise Microsoft for releasing broken shit just so they can be the good guys and fix their broken shit. OH THANK YOU MERCIFUL MASTERS!

And I don't have a problem with Microsoft.  I started out analyzing their situation to respond to OP.  What should Microsoft do?  I gave my thoughts and some trolling corporate slaves cut their own wrists to save a dead queen.  Guys, I'm not attacking Microsoft.  So please calm down. 

I already gave my thoughts.  What do you think Microsoft should do?

Microsoft spent over a Billion bucks over a 3 year period in repairing and replacing Xbox 360's.

Think about how many Xbox 360 consoles you could buy and repair with a Billion bucks... Repairs would have been cheaper than replacing the entire consoles outright too, which was the majority of cases.
Of course you will get people who will say "stuff it" and just replace the console with a new one and ignore the warranty, but not everyone did.

Sony isn't perfect either. YLOD was a big issue, so was the hacked online, the removal of features, exploding battery's... You name it.

Consumers tend to have short memory's though, so most of that is all forgotten.
