Once again i had a link to back me up,and your own link turn on you,it wasn't accurate either.

All fat 360 are pront to RROD,and while newer model improved there were not RROD safe in any way,they could fail at any day,only slim models don't suffer RROD,sadly slim models enter the market on late 2010,any fat unit prior to that can RROD.
So see what is 30 to 35% of what MS had until 2010 and you will get the idea,the xbox 360 was like at 46 millions when the slim models hit,so do the math.
Also YLOD is not even close to RROD,in fact by your own link,even witout RROD other hardware problems on 360 make it more unreliable than the PS3,the PS3 had 10% the xbox 360 11+ % that was when RROD was taken out of the picture.

How did my link turn on me? Are you actually reading the articles you are quoting? It showed exactly what I said. That the actual failure rate was in the 30s. Not the mid 50% like you were quoting. Here is the last line of the part that you think turned on me...."With that caveat in mind, applying the survey data to the analysis shows that the Xbox 360 failure rate could be as high as 35%" They reported 23.7%, but if you factored in the people who Square Trade figured went directly to MS it would be as high as 35%....not the 54% you were claiming.Â
Your link does nothing but confirm that the failure rate was in the 30s. Try reading it again. Sure the launch model failures were probably higher, but the later models were probably lower. We don't know. We do know that the Falcons were much more reliable than the Xenons. So it is concievable to believe that 30%-35% of the phat 360s were prone to failure.
Even with that, you can't just remove those numbers from the overall sales like you want to do. You have no idea how many people actually re-bought the console, how many people had the console fixed for free, how many people fixed it themselves, and how many people never bought another Xbox 360.
Which brings me to my last point. I never said that the YLoD was as bad as the RRoD. Nobody would claim that. What I said is that if you are going to start speculating tha amount of 360s bought as replacements for a RRoD failure without any actual numbers. Then it is fair for someone to start speculating the number of PS3s that were bought as replacements for PS3s that failed out of warranty for YLoD, DRE, Blu-ray diode failures, etc.
