This is directly from a similar pole done at gamespot. Make of it what you will. I have used 33% as my conservative estimate (just to apease the fans) while noting that the real figure is probably about 50%.
"Has your Xbox 360 failed? "
| Nope. | (40%) | 12,999 | |
| Yeah, but I got it replaced for free. | (14%) | 4,783 | |
| Yes. And I had to pay to get it fixed. | (5%) | 1,818 | |
| Yes! Twice! | (5%) | 1,668 | |
| @#$% YES!! More than twice!!!!! | (6%) | 2,163 | |
| Pfft! You think I would actually buy an Xbox 360? | (27%) | 8,711 |
Looking at the above. You would need to count the 4th line twice and the 5th line at least 3 times if you want to know defective rate (we are not looking at sales just defective consoles).
The total then would be about 12,999 problem free. 16,426 defective ( 4783 + 1818 + 1668 x2 + 2163 x3 using a conservative estimate). That puts the failure rate at about 55.8%...
