And any failure rate was well within the excepted norm. Which I believe is 3%? Think it's safe to say, they were well over that. One rumor said it was as high as 33%, but who can say.
Just to clarify that's the normal failure rate for the first year. For the 360 it is rumoured to have been more than tenfold, which IMO should have sparked a recall option for users.
Probably after the 360's second year, a majority of launch unit buyers went through RROD hardware failures (not counting other types of failures).
But worst of all, many people went through many repeat failures due to Microsoft sending out refurbished failure prone "previously" broken units.
