| Hapimeses said: I think you misunderstand the 70% number (or, at least, the one I commonly see on the net). It's not that 70% have failed, it's that 70% will fail. Give it time, and more RRoDs will appear, if that number is true. For me, when making a choice over which console to buy, that was unforgiveably shoddy console design by Microsoft. What we can say for certain is that the RRoD % is very high already, and the 360 hasn't been on the market for very long. If reports of 33% of 360s failing are true, the end number will obviously be far higher. You may be happy to accept that, I'm not. Finally, it's possible RRoD has been largely resolved now. However, it's also possible it hasn't. Only time will tell. Some will be happy to accept this risk, others won't. |
I wonder how the multiple failures on the same X360 are counted. If 2 out of 10 X360s fail twice, is that 40% (4 RRODs for 10 machines)? I'd hope it isn't counted that way. Yet to count it as 'only' 2 out of 10 seems a bit off as well, since the 2 guys had to send the boxes in twice.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
