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?

No, Microsoft assumed the vast majority of replacements, and the cost of succesive revisions of hardware . It was their duty, they didn't because they are an ONG, but they did it, and they payed for it. You are saying that the 360 real userbase is less than half of the sold units. This is plain false, and software sales figures proves you wrong. shit, they even sold 24 millions of kinects, are you saying that the 70% of 360's user base bought kinect? There's no way in hell that 360's userbase were less than half ps4's but managed to sell more games during the generation.

please...

I was refering to the PS3 not the PS4.  I would peg the userbase at around 40-50 million.  The software sales in the US definitly indicate the base was defintly higher than the PS3.  There is no way the PS3 was gonna beat the Xbox 360 in the US because the PS3 was just plain overpriced for ages.   And about the 360 Kinect attach rate, it would be skyhigh no matter what figure you use.  Even at 80 million a 24 million attachment is still sky high.  Its really amazing when you think about it.  Is it really a gimmick if it sold that much?  Thats a topic for another day and I think I could successfully argue that it was not a gimmick.
