IF I read correctly, it seems the center actually reported those numbers.

Actually it was a 360 owner who claimed that the center told him these numbers. That doesn't mean that they are wrong, it just means that those numbers are not offical and need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Still, even if the low end number is correct (1,500) that is still alot of consoles per day.

Assuming an average of 2,000 consoles per day ((1500+2500)/2 = 2000) and 5 workdays. (I assume they don't work weekends) That is 10,000 consoles per week. How many 360's does microsoft sell in the UK per week?


Yeah, there's no official source in that news article, meaning take anything it says with a grain of salt.

Assuming those numbers were true, that would go with the 20% failure rate (2000/day is right around 22% for Europe) but I don't even trust the 20% rate figure, since, once again it comes from people just talking and it a complete guess.


(1) Again: This isn't attach rate.  The failure rate isn't connected to the daily sales.  Failure is measured in different ways, and units that get fixed can eventually be counted as a non-failure.

(2) This isn't for Europe, this is for the UK.  The number of failures is either close to the sales rate in the UK or it is greater than the sales rate in the UK -- depending on whether you include Saturdays (i'd bet you would in that country).
