I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. It just wasn't counting with the Rod'd consoles, which according to a survey last year happened on average on 54.2% of the consoles ( http://consumerist.com/2009/08/xbox-360-failure-rate-is-542-percent-game-informer-finds.html )

Given that not every broken console got replaced, or owners jump ship to another console or whatever, 9 million sounds like a fair number. Either that or lower.

I did a study recently at my workplace. Asked around, and several people had a Wii. Well... 8 people. (6 of which say they bought one for there daughters).

5 of them said that there Wii's had broken down.

This obviously means that the Wii's shipped are about half of what Nintendo says they are.

The wii failure rate is 2.7% according to this survey by gamespot (but I believe it is 6% as I've already seen on more reliable sources but can't find it now)

Let's make an average and say 4.5%. It fits in the normal failure rate ofr any electronic device.

On the other hand, if I'm going by your logic, the only person I know that had a PS3 (said he used it as Br player because PS3 has no games) doesn't use it anymore because it is broken.

100% failure rate for Sony, then.
