Microsoft now receiving 2,500 broken 360s per day in UK alone?

Media quote: 

USA Today quotes a Microsoft representative as saying that returns of faulty Xbox 360 consoles are running at between three and five per cent of those sold. Which is lower than many of the online polls, but as US games blog Kotaku says, this could be due to some people not contacting Microsoft for a return if their machine is only occasionally glitching.

But we know that around that time at the earlier mentioned retailers failure rates were above 30%. Also EA around the time of this claim suffered tenfold the amount of failures of the hundreds of consoles they own.
