Further reason to believe the 360's sales are inflated due to RROD.

Here's a guy who really seems to like the 360. No reason to assume he isn't telling the truth or has any sort of anit-Microsoft bias. Acouple of little sentences from him convince me further that the 360's sales numbers are inflated by multiple purchases by the same person to replace defective consoles.

"I have had two 360's fail on me and am currently working on my third one. When my third one dies and if the Game Informer survey is any indication, it will. I will run right out and buy my fourth 360 without hesistation."

I have seen this kind of anecdotal evidence in blog after blog and message board after message board. To what extent the numbers are inflated is up for debate (probably difficult or impossible to prove), but clearly there are people who have bought multiple consoles. I believe the difference in the number of unique users of the PS3 and 360 is much smaller than the pure sales numbers would have us believe.

On a site like this based on sales numbers, I think this is a subject that needs to be discussed from time to time...in a civilized manner of course. :)

A random blog - yawn.

Thanks for earning a spot on my 'Ignore poster' list!
