I'm pretty much a semi active user and most of the time I spend on this website is done reading other people's posts , it's pretty shocking to see the volume of ignorant , ill informed , un-justified posts that are thrown about about by fanboys on these forums to give their console's credibility.

I'll adress some misconceptions that annoy me the most.

 

-There's no way the XBOX 360 can have an install base of 17 Million even if the faliure rate is a high as 10% (with reports claiming it to be as much as 33%) then the install base could not possibly be more than 16 Million.

 

Well ok some of them aren't misconceptions , some are debatable but cmon....VG


FAILED!

Thats a misconception !

First off the numbers of this site don't count replaced consoles  <-- unless your telling me IOI has access to those numbers

 

GFK, mediacreate, NPD - NONE of those report replaced consoles has sold 

 

MS can't report any consoles shipped through its call centers because those are not sold/shipped to retail

If they reported those numbers as sales (shipped to retail) then they would lying on their financial reports (people go to jail for that)
