How Bad has RROD hurt the 360 in sales?

Who knows?

My guess? Not much.

Did it affect a potential sale to me? Yeah.

Why would you buy something that has such a high rate of failure?

Failure is not accepted in my home!

Well said.

substantialy, the sales last year could have been double if it wasn't for the rrod fear and rrod rumors all around.LibertySaint

Aren't you exaggerating abit

Didnt effect it much at all, especially considering the Xbox 360 is selling like hotcakes and is pounding the PS3 in sales each and every day.

Last time I checked the Xbox 360 console is 10 million units ahead in sales.....

I think you should join the real world with the rest of us and understand that the Xbox 360 is miles ahead, regardless of whether it released 1 year early.

There is no catching up for the PS3 now, the Xbox 360 would literally have to stop selling for that to happen.

Speedy speaks some truth, although sales could have been better for the 360. No one will pay 350 for a system that has potential to fail. With a price cut this year and the improvements made to the system, i think it will have a renewed fervor in the marketplace.

Easier math would be 17.7 shipped versus 10.4 shipped. Arguing over who is selling better at any given moment is pointless. Cumulative will matter most in the end.

I think it hurt them enough, thats the real reason why there's more PS3s shipped than 360s last year.

Its easy math to see that the Xbox 360 is 10 million ahead..........Its also easy math to see that it will take 4 years + for Sony to catch up, and for it to catch up the Xbox 360 would have to completley stop selling...Speedy454545

Calm downladies. Every console is fine (No pun intended). Until you make a profit from sales (in other words you're a stockholder) it's utterly pointless to argue unless you have something to prove. ;)

The head start was everything. all the exclusives Sony enjoyed last gen are mostly multiplat now. to assume that the 360 will slow down in sales is contradictory to the point of getting to a mass market price. Sony is further from that point.deathtoallgods

I wish i could read the future too...

:(

Thanks Nostradamus.

Who says the PS3 is going to keep selling the way it is? The main reason the Xbox 360 sales have slowed down is because nearly everybody has one, the same thing will happen to the PS3.

If 360 didn't have so many RRoD problems,then it could possibly be ahead of Wii,but its the opposite at this point in time.Indestructible2

Correction, if the 360 sold even half as well in Japan as the Wii does it would be ahead of the Wii. Of course we all know that isn't going to happen though. ;)

actually the 360 mite stop selling before the ps3, isnt the ps3 ment to stay on the market and be in develepment for many years to come, the "720" might come out in like 3 -4 years. and please mate stop talking about sales, your the same guy taht said the 360 outsold the ps3 last year and used NPD sales to prove that point. :|

I bought a 360 but sold it a week later because it was making funny noises and putting out alot of heat. I feared the RROd every time I turned it on. I just bought a PS3 a week ago and couldn't be happier.

Indeed. The PS3 is selling better, however I bet the Computer is selling better. :)

Yep, I recommend a PS3 to everyone because of it.

It hurt Microsoft worse than Blu-Ray, imo.

Yeah, it's much better to have a large stack of games collecting dust while the console hits the repair depot again...........

Dude, stop smoking. Everybody already knows the PS3 is selling better. Give it a rest already and join the real world with the rest of us.

Microsoft might want to get a head start and release 720 before the PS4 comes out, but only if they can do that without rushing it so much that it causes a lot of faulty hardware like what happened to 360. The positive of rushing the 360 is that it got the headstart in sales. The negative is too many RROD's. So if Microsoft can beat Sony into next-gen by releasing their console atleast a year earlier AND do it with reliable hardware it would be the 1-2 punch!
