Of the roughly 15-20 personal friends of mine with 360's, they've literally all had RROD and ended up purchasing new 360s. This obviously doesn't represent the industry, but thats 15-20 unnecessary sales that m$ made because of their shit hardware.

And I don't know a single PS3 owner who didn't go out and buy a new console when theirs got the YLOD. It's just easier than dealing with $ony and paying their repair costs.

If the 360 truly has this monstrous amount of rebuys, wouldn't their software be closer to PS3? Yet the attach rate is higher. And it gets even higher if you start factoring in these people who supposedly rebuy a lot of consoles.

Why don't PS3 owners play games? :(

Read my above post, what is more likely a PS3 breaking and they rebuy it. Or a 360 breaking and they rebuy it.

Although this is not really proof for anything, but 360 got an extra year to kick things into gear. Going by Vgchartz if you look at each game that has at least sold .01m then you get 1006 games for PS3. And 1087 games for 360. 2005 sales for 360 SW sucked, but all first year consoles SW sucks. 360 got an extra year of when SW sold well. It remains to be seen if PS3 will get an extra year to be on par.
