Yeah, that makes you wonder about the real installed base gap if half of 360 owners had to buy 3 or 4 consoles.

So the actual attach rate for the xbox 360's would be 12.5?

237m games divided by 15 million consoles + 3.75 million consoles that have been replaced 4 times ("half of 360 owners had to buy 3 or 4 consoles" as you stated)

 

Wow.. the 360 is a software powerhouse!

LOL, Tony_Parker exaggerated it a bit, but like I said, most people usually send their consoles in for repair, but others simply buy a new one, especially after their warranties have expired. My estimate is that with all the warranties that have expired since launch date, the 360's sales have been inflated by about 5 million units.
