Forums - Microsoft - What would have happened without the high failure rates?

kenzomatic on 24 February 2008

How do you think the failure rates have effected the 360 sales?

Where do you think they could be with out them?

Please don't get into a debate over what the rates are because reality doesn't effect sales image does and the image is that they fail a lot.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

My heavens! This post is a classic example of why there should be a rule where a poster needs to have 100 posts before creating a thread.

Folks here are so misinformed it's not funny. It's horrible. Threads like this make it seem like every 360 is a timebomb. What about the PS2 disk read errors? Guess what? Consumers didn't care. It's the games, stupid.

This thread - PHAIL.

OT - I like canoli with my Supreme pizza. Red sauce on pasta and shredded cheese, thank you ...

I find great irony in those two sentences.  You have over 100 posts, and are still misinformed.  lol.

On topic

Obvously, it has affected sales negatively, and as we can see in this weeks American numbers, allowed the PS3 to pull ahead in sales (at least for this week). Now this could be the supposed "shortages", or could it be seeing the PS3 as a Blu-Ray playing, non-failing console? Who knows.

Without hardware failures, they could still be winning worldwide weekly (lol, when's the last time that happened), but speculation is all that we can do, because the RRoD is a sad reality.

Now I feel bad for deffending madskillz against you in a previous post. Because I'm agreeing with you more and more.

Who believes microsoft doesn't internally have the project numbers of what this has cost them?

 We know for a fact 1 billion at least.

^ Whoops, you now have 100 posts. You are now informed, according to madskillz

Apparently, according to MS's cost/benefit analysis, it hasn't affected sales negatively enough for them to fix it.
