Why Console Sales Figures Prove Nothing

Stopped reading when they claimed that people replaced RROD'ed 360's out of warranty. MS provided an excellent warranty for RROD, and the number of people purchasing a second console to replace the first would be statistically insignificant. Just look at the 360's attach ratio (highest for any console ever, afaik).

Just as statistically insignificant is the number of PS3 consoles bought to form super computers. Even if 25,000 were sold for this purpose it wouldn't significantly impact overall sales.

If they claimed that later in the article, then that is just silly. As I said, I stopped reading at the RROD comments and have no desire to go back and read more.
