Forums - Sales Discussion - How many "new" 360s do you think are purchased due to RROD?

Since its had up to a 33% failure rate, lets hypothetically say that 100% of that 1/3 re bought a system. I dont feel like doing the exact math, but thats between 7-8 million units. Whats the gap between 360 and PS3? Is the 360 kinda cheating? Thats just hypothetically speaking. But what percent do you think is a re buy?

Ugh I got a warning for insulting somebody on here so I won't do again, just know that I really really really want to right now.

The failure rate was 33% AT launch. That rate is far smaller now. I can only imagine a large majority of RROD consoles are sent in to Microsoft for free repairs.

Stop being such a fanboy.



 

Did I not say hypothetically? And Im perfectly aware of the failure rate now, hence my usage of the past tense. If you illiterates would please read the title it is a very simple question. Im perfectly aware of replacements, but what about before this. Reading is your friend. And @ seece, by looking at your recent posts and game library,your profile is very MS based, so please dont be a hypocritical jerk.

NAw but it was sad, we went to funeral and all XD ok now im just messing. Anyway just wanted to share that :o..

That doesn't mean he's a fanboy though.

Anyways, no one knows and almost no one cares. We're more interested in future sales.

And to Aldro, no... stops it nao!
