| Jaeron said: The thing is, Microsoft has gotten in trouble many times for the numbers they claim to investors. There's been times where they claim a number, then backpeddle and say "We were counting replaced systems as well." there are other times where they say "We were counting shipped units as sold units." this happens all the time. |
Can you quote us where microsoft ever made this claim?
You keep talking nonsense. When you send an xbox to microsoft for repair, you get a replacement and your xbox get repaired. It's not destroyed. Someone else will get that machine as substitution unit. The total number of xbox serials doesn't chage. The number microsoft reports is the numer of the systems that are in circulation. Beside as someone else said, they can't fuck up their account statement. You can see the cost of repairing the consoles in the gaming division losses for 2007, they disappear from 2008 onwards (falcon revision). There aren't that many xbox repaired anymore.
