I've got friends that either refused to rely on the refurbished garbage that Microsoft sends back in order to cover failed 360's or were ignorant of the extent of the 360's warranty. They instead opted to replace their 360's with new units, I don't know what percentage of total sales that this would account for but from my personal experience it appears to be a significant factor. |
It could be high, but out of 40% failure rate of the 360 id say about 5-10% was past the warranty, Now that still is a big number if you take into account how many 360's where sold (Again it could be higher then that its just a guess as we have no stats to base it on), but that would bring it in line with the PS3 failure rate of 10%. Anyway i still don't think the RLOD is why the 360 sold so much.

The RRoD is clearly not the reason why the 360 sold as many units as it did, but it was a contributing factor (as minor as it may be). It is worth noting that the PS3 does not have a 10% failure rate, it is closer to 5-6%.

Nope its at 10% http://uk.gamespot.com/news/xbox-360-failure-rate-237-ps3-10-wii-27-study-6216691
Anyway the 360 Warranty came out in 2007. And added an extra 3 years onto the 360 warranty, so thats from 2007-2010. I'm pretty sure any console that was going to fail from release would of done so by that time, and brings my number of failed 360 that ran past that date, and from people that didn't know about the warranty into the 5-10% of 360 owners. and that brings it more inline with the PS3 failure rate.

2007-2010 for anyone who purchased a 360 from that period on. If you purchased it at launch you were screwed. 5-10% of what was existent then equates to 325,000- 6,000,000 Xboxes affected without warranty opposed to current sales standings. Just letting you know. Its staggeringly high.
