360 didn't really accelerate that fast, the early release gets too much credit imo. If it'd launched in 2006 rather than 2005, it'd have comparably sold more upfront anyway (thanks to a more mature developer base and better available tech).
I'd also be wary of stepping into "multiple console" territory given YLOD isn't exactly uncommon itself, and PS3 hasn't really surged ahead until it got a slim model revision (which itself encourages upgrading). If anything, I'd argue RROD has done more harm than good to 360's sales.
