I see it differently. If the number is 33% of all 360s sold have developed a RROD type fault then this tells me one of two things. The first that the problem initially was near 100% failure and that subsequent years have reduced this figure to maybe >5% or that the console had a high initial failure rate and was very slowly reduced to the current level of >5%.
In my case my Xbox purchased January 2006 failed July 2007 the return is still a launch item and has yet to fail. That said I am approaching the period of ownership when the last unit failed and as this unit technically still has the fault it will in all likelyhood fail again.
The other potential to inflate of course is the same sale failing repeatedly. This would also inflate the percentage overall failure rate and give the impression of larger numbers. The person who is fortunate to have 7 units fail is still only one sale.
