Yeah that sounds about right; better PR and first party support should raise it above the Xbone, but I don't see it having the long legs, 10 year lifespan, or Kinect boost that elevated 360 to the sales it reached. |
It also doesn't have the red ring of death. No one owned just one Xbox 360, they owned multiple. lol |

Can confirm; my first one died on me and I bought a second one to replace it. The flipside of that though is that its reputation as faulty hardware may have dissuaded a lot of potential buyers and so hurt hardware sales as well as helped them. |
Same here. When my original 360 came down with the RROD, I got it "fixed" at Digital Press Videogames, but that fix didn't last long. Which is why I think they stopped offering the service after a while. I later upgraded to the 360 Slim which still works to this day. To be honest, I haven't had great luck with any of Microsoft's consoles. The power button on my original XBox stopped working, my 360 RROD'd, and my XBox One's power supply stopped working.
