360 sales are inflated due to redundant purchases from impatient gamers.

In other words, despite how many systems your site has tracked being sold, how many have been to UNIQUE users?

 

So... I own and use two 360s... therefore the second one DOESN'T COUNT, because it was not sold to a UNIQUE user? 

 

Okay vgchartz data collectors, please -1 360 sale.

 

 

 

 

The problem is that redundant users still only buy 1 person's worth of software.  This might partially explain why we keep reading articles about how this or that developer has made more money off of their PS3 version of a game vs. their 360.  Then again, those articles might have nothing to do with redundancy at all.  Your situation is different.  You use both your 360s.  I'm talking about people who buy 1, it breaks and then instead of getting it fixed for FREE, they instead buy another 1 for $200 or more.

 

omg, stop making it seem like getting the console fixed for free is such a great deal. It takes WEEKS of downtime for you to recieve the system back and begin playing your games again. Maybe for a casual gamer that is no big deal, but many hardcore gamers wouldn't be able to survive for several weeks without their system of choice. 200 for instant gratification is not too much to pay for.

 

 It took 4 days till I had my new Xbox360 back + 1 month free Xbox Live gold. And I am in Europe. MS has a really great service. Well experience, I guess. ^^

 

And to keep on: You said:

"Look, looking at annual GNP (income per capita) figures in the United states, it is around 50.000$ per person in 2008."

1. Are you sure it is per person? I mean I doubt a 3 years old child has 50k to spend. I guess it is per employee or something.
2. Are you sure that 50k is the income, well with or without taxes?
3. Well the PS3 just can't match the Xbox360s sales, if it is not the price, what might be the true reason? Are you saying the PS3 is inferior? According to your logic it can't be superior, it sells less and price doesn't matter.
4. What is your prediction for the Xbox360 sales in 09? You say MS will be lucky, when they reach 35 million, so that would make 4 million in 09 and 4 million in 2010? Could I put this prediction in my sig?
