I would say for the public at large, 360 is a done deal it's unreliable to them. Now next system release Microsoft has a chance to do away with that but I think that will be the earliest. |
Sorry, but I have to disagree with most of what you said. In the gaming industry there's actually a great deal of brand loyalty, just look at the number of Sony fans who stuck it out through 2007, or the vast legions of Nintendo fans. Also, to the "public at large" the RRoD is a non-issue. The vast majority of people do not follow gaming news, they simply buy what they feel will satisfy their gaming needs.
While the new consoles may be RRoD free, I think it will take a while for the stigma to wear off because tons of people still have "at risk" consoles, myself included.
