Yeah, and no RROD happened which hurt a *lot* of sales in the beginning. Interesting how only good arguments come in for 360 to defend PS3...

No it didnt hurt it actually, it actually led to more sales and I bet the units MS replaced were counted in their 'sales' data

Oh sure, it led to more sales! Man, who would've imagined... Better to build faulty hardware instead of working one, you are a genius. Or a funny guy, but one of these for sure!

Well, when people have said they've bought 3-5 360s due to hardware failures....that does kinda pad the numbers, don't you think? "Why don't you just buy a PS3 so you don't have to keep buying 360s?" "Well, I have 15 games. Can't play that on a PS3"
There obviously was no foresight, as your sarcasm would dictate, to make a faulty console and then reap the benefits of re-buys. What happened was the 3660 had great software and high attach ratios....and it just so happened to break easily. And when your console breaks, you get a new one because like I showed in the above example, you can't play 15 360 games on PS3. Not to mention that people stayed with 360 to keep their gamerscore as well.
Don't sit there and act like there have been no reports of people buying multiple consoles. I'm not saying something ridiculous like....only 20M people bought a 360 and they've all had to buy 4. I'm saying that many people have bought multiple consoles, and as a result, it "boosted sales". When MS goes into a board meeting they aren't gonna say "We sold 2 consoles, but one was a replacement for a broken one, so we don't have more customers". They're gonna say "we sold 2 360s" because their bottom line is all that matters
