Any console ever had an higher fail rate than 360?

According to VGChartz numbers, 360 is already at 25 million (congrats MS), and according to majority complains from user/retailer the fail rate for the machine is about 16%.

So having this we simple do some maths:  (16*25)/100 = 4

 

4 Million 360 already RoD'd. (Just for curiosity, that is almost half of the portuguese population)

 

Any console ever had this fail rate?

 

 

Actually, that's not quite the maths you're looking for. Assuming 16% failure and 25 million working 360's,

 

We are looking for a number which when multiplied by 0.84 is equal to 25

 

the number is 29.76

subtract the number of non brokoen consoles and it's 4.76 million broken 360's

 

Sorry to quibble, but if you're going to do maths, do it right :P
