Tempted to lock this.

This subject was done to death years ago, for a while we locked threads on it.

Microsoft had a worldwide 3 year warranty. The very nature of the RROD was that it tended to cause consoles to fail quite quickly. Any defective PS3's would likely have gone in their first year as well. It just isn't realistic to think that a large number of consoles are repurchases because of failures.

More 'extra' consoles will have been sold because of slim PS3's and Xbox 360's.

Wasn't the warranty not in effect until July 2007, though?

I think it was earlier than that, and it was retrospective.
