IGN seems to have formed quite a vendetta against malfunctioning 360s since all of theirs supposedly died. It sound like horrible luck on their part. The majority of launch 360s haven't broken down.

 Still, an unhealthy number of 360's have died. Unfortunate, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that MS is manufacturing a decent chunk of faulty products.

Decent chunk? It was 5-6% of launch consoles.

But think of the ungodly hours IGN's (or any gaming site's) consoles must be played for. It wouldn't be a stretch to say their 360 is played 6-8 hours a day, 5-7 days a week, 50-51 weeks a year. Thats alot of stress to put on a console, especially one with heating problems like the 360.

That's still a huge number if you consider the number of consoles that where sold 100,000 x .05 = 50,000. That's a decent chunk.

Yeah, I suck at math...Oh well. Still 5000 consoles is more than just a pittance. For the sake of SW, I will no longer do mathematical equations.

We don't know the actual figures in launch consoles but its pretty safe to say it was considerably higher than that. There were consoles screwing up twenty minutes after they were connected, that is not normal AT ALL.

No, not counting, its pretty much done, besides fanboys who tell their stories.

Nagidar
Its always counting, its safe to say that by now the sizable majority of NES consoles had to be repaired or replaced, hardware is always wearing out and breaking and considering how poor the launch batch performed I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is MUCH higher than that by now. BTW, tell it to the guy who had six break on him.

Some people have bad luck and that sucks, but for the most part, not many people have had problems with any of the consoles. Hell, I've NEVER had any probleme with ANY of my consoles, including the PS2.(We all know how bad that launch was)

 Don't feel bad, I screwed it up to, I put the wrong symbol in there, it should say 100,000 - 5% = 5,000, I hit the wrong key.

[QUOTE="Nagidar"]I guess all the cows are mad because I ruined their thread.CuDDKiDD

Their thread? I'm not a cow...

Regardless you made thr thread and it got turned against you it seems. So I guess instead of TCHBO we could just say TTCHBO.

If the link was any indication this was a joke topic. I should have known better that it would turn into something ugly. O well...

lol, Actually, I've seen that before, pretty funny, but when I saw the PS3 fanboys start claiming ownage, including you (I know, I know, you're not a cow), I decided to post something funny, it just happened to be ownage in the process, didn't really mean to do that.
