Are the sales figures for the Xbox 360 Accurate?

I've asked the same question the OP asked and gotten seriously attacked for it. I truly believe that the number of unique 360 users is far less than the overall sales numbers would indicate. I've read endless articles, blogs, forum posts of people that have admitted that they have simply bought new console after new console due to RROD rather than having the defective unit fixed. Suckers. All of you. Shame on you for letting a company take advantage of you and your hard earned consumer $ with their awful quality assurance procedures. The 360 sales figures will forever be artificially inflated whether or not people want to admit it.

And you will forever be an ignorant fanboy.  If you can't accept our very likely explanations for the broken units, you don't have to, but that further shows just how desperate of a fanboy you truly are.

If I'm a fanboy for not getting suckered out of my money by a company with poor quality assurance, then yes, I'm a fanboy.  If Microsoft had ever released a redesigned model such as a slim model that corrected the design flaw of the original unit and virtually eliminated the RROD altogether, I would already own one.

The latest model has basically taken care of the RROD problem and you know it.  I seriously doubt you would ever have any intentions of buying a 360 (from some of your posting history).

I'd love to play the Gears of War series (bought the first one for PC, but it just doesn't feel the same) and Halo 3 as well as several other games.  The problem is that since I work in Quality Assurance myself, I refuse to buy knowingly defective products.  A redesigned/slim 360 would be quite appealing to me.
