Everyone ... the number of defective consoles is not 2.5 million. Someone just divided 1 billion by 400 and ... you get 2.5 million. But that doesn't take into account that it's possible that both Core and Elite models fail, too, and are covered in the three year warranty. No point trying to guess how many consoles failed.

Too true, there are other costs involved for the $1billion.  But don't forget, it doesn't cost Microsoft $400 to make a 360, so even if it were based on sales costs alone, it could be alot more than that and quite possibly closer to 4m.

Who knows...but in any case....it will be alot.

If MS state that it's 1 in 10...then the likelihood is that it's alot more than that.
