I know people who bought 5 or 6 360. I guess they didn't have the 3 year warranty. I'm in Europe though.

This is exactly why you'll have a hard time convincing me that 360's sales numbers aren't overly inflated.  How many people have actually bought more than 1 system due to being out of warranty, etc. rather than having the same one repaired?


With the attach rate of games to 360's this refutes any massive amount of people purchasing new 360's to replace one that died.  My launch 360 died once and that was this past March and MS still fixed it for free.  The vast majority of 360's are still under the 3 year warranty. Any 360 sold after August 2006 is still under warranty. That means roughly 4 million are now not under warranty.  Since I cant be the only person that got a free fix months after the warranty supposedly ended it is very unlikely any massive amount of people bought a new 360 to replace an old one that died.

As for the article the 54% number is BS. 



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
