I'll add an X360 Slim to my installed base of consoles though if one of those ever will be released (and according to MrStickball there will b).

He's just trolling.

I've reported him

That's exactly what I thought, but I couldn't believe people in the other thread just blew it off as no big deal to buy another console.

Probably a very small percentage overall.

Irrelevant anyway. PS2 was famous for dying and being replaced. Probably 10% of it's sales were replacements.

And although you don't hear about it at least a few Wiis and PS3s would have died and needed to be replaced too.

 No

You're just deliberately trolling to wind people up and make the 360 look bad because you're insecure about your PS3 purchase.

Read my post in your other stupid thread, that was also made just to get peoples backs up.

Trolling?  I'm asking for this site to do what it is they do, which is investigate sales numbers.  We've had polls about dumber things.

Dont get the numbers mixed up, the numbers here express how many consoles were purchased, thats it.

It's not inflated because the console was still purchased.

These multiple purchases obviously exist, but I'm not too sure about how big of an impact they would have on the overall userbase ...

Back at the height of the RROD Microsoft was actually replacing quite a few people's XBox 360 systems with brand-new units, and then taking the broken XBox 360 and refurbishing it. These refurbished systems were often sold at a major discount (which is how I bought my XBox 360) and I doubt they were tracked by either VGChartz or NPD.

Now, its impossible to determine how many people bought a second XBox 360 and how many people bought an untracked refurbished system but I suspect that the numbers would balance out well enough that the overall sales are not that inaccurate.

I also own a Wii and have pretty much owned every single console ever sold outside of a 3DO.  I will one day own a 360.  I'm just interested in the mindset of some people who are willing to throw money away in place of something free.

I'm willing to bet more people bought a PS3 to only use as a Blu-Ray player than people who couldn't be bothered to get their $200-$400 console fixed for free.
