If you read your source, which you clearly didn't, they admit that the failure rate is propably more around ~35%, and again that's not including the fact that it is only for 2 years, not 3 which the MS warranty covers. If you have no idea how stat analysis works, please don't talk about it as if you do because saying "50% LOL" just makes you sound incredibly ignorant. |
One source of evidence does trump another when one source is a valid source from a leading warranty provider and another is a reader poll in a magazine. I mean.. if you had a debate going and in one hand you had actual data from Sony about something and in the other hand you had an IGN poll.. which would you think is more valid? It's clearly the first one, but something tells me if the IGN poll backed up your agenda you'd say it's just as valid.
"could be as high as 35%" is still a far cry from the 54% or whatever was in the GI reader survey. And remember, your original point was that who knows "how much MS spent fixing RROD". Even out of that "could be 35%", 12% were not RROD and thus aren't covered by MS's extended RROD warranty. Furthermore as the article says, with the new chipsets, the issues are gone.
They set aside like 1.5 billion for the RROD stuff. They also made 1.2 billion off of Xbox Live in 2010. Something tells me they're doing ok. I hope this has helped, I'm not really going to waste any more time arguing with someone who takes a magazine reader survey as fact.
