I am not saying my anecdotal incident I present is typical, but I have a friend who bought a second 360 IMMEDIATELY after his 360 RRoD'ed, as he felt he really needed his game machine. He did receive his RRoD replacement a few weeks later. Since then he also bought a 'newer chipset 360', and hasn't sold or given away the other two.
Do all RRoD owners do this? I doubt it. I will say I do believe the purchasers of the 360 in it's first three years are definitely more enthuiastic that the average videogame purchaser. If they weren't, how could MS get away with basic online fee's and overpriced HDD's and wireless adapters.
I doubt a large percentage of 360 owners have doubly bought, but I suspect the number is much higher than PS3 or Wii owners.
