@GT. I doubt the GB had anywhere near as many faulty models as ps2, a kid dropping juice on it doesn't mean it was faulty, and even with accidental breakages included [of which GB will have more being handheld] i would bet there were less broken GB than PS2... however i forgot about things like GBpocket [were there other redesigns?] and although i doubt many people did, there will have been some new colour re-buys.
Anyway whichever way you look at it, ps2 will have outsold GB/GBC when it finally dies, and because there is no valid reason to take away re-buys ps2 has outsold it already.
as for developers, there is no need for them to look at an estimated actual install base when they can look at game sales.
Soriku, I guess hating the PS3 isn't enough for ya, now you have to go hating on the PS2, which holds your dear Kingdom Hearts?!
You know what would be less painful than reading this thread again? Watching "In Good Company" while humping a sack full of rusty nails.
Anyways, the failures that made people have to buy new PS2s only lasted up until Spring 2003, when the PS2's userbase was only about 50 million, or half its current userbase. So, 20-30 million would be a 40% to 60% failure rate we're talking about here, at least among the older models. Of course, why would someone break their newer model?
Are they just plain old stupid?
Well than if your talking about rebuys, then you should talk about the systems that consumers buy but they either trade in. Then 120m doesn't seem the right number

And I've dropped my DS from a second story window onto a parking lot and it still performs like Day One.

Actually, if you drop your DS with the dual screen still open, it's very likely to break.
Obviously it was worth it for those people to buy it a second time so why not count it?
