People buying (or being given for free, and then counted as a sale) a 2nd Xbox because their first one RROD, or because they wanted to avoid RROD with a new model, is at least 2.5 times that margin of error. Just a thought. 

Are you seriously arguing that the red ring of death was a sales positive for the 360?

Yes. Imagine you are halfway into the 360/PS3 generation. You've already got ten-twenty 360 games. Then your 360 RRODs. Are you seriously going to buy a PS3, and all those games over again? Or just eat your loss, and buy another 360?
