We know Sony is losing money, but isnt M$ losing more?!

With the 61% failure rates ( famous rings). So let assume that 10mil were sold, that means 6.1million consoles were return to M$ warehouse. and 6.1 mil were sent back.

So isn't M$ losing money?

 Please enlighten me.

Where the hell did you get that number from? :? cecx

*Pulls number out of ass*

You know with the Wiis 86.3% explosion rate, I'm surprised Nintendo makes money.

Thread fails because we all KNOW 61% is not correct.

It is obviously 3%. :P

Here is a article from gamespot talking about how Halo 3 will probably put them in the black anyways.

I was pretty sure Sony was actualy losing more, but both are losing money horribly on console sales, maybe game sales helps make up for some/all of it.pwnmaster

The number could easily be at least %50 over the course of a year. 3-5% from MS is probably dead out of box or failed factory testing. There are way too many stories and from most anyone's personal experience to say it's anything less than 10-20% minimum.

The now %62 failure rate survey came from 4460 submissions on a site called 360gamer.com. That's a large sampling by most standards from what is definitely a non-bias source. Pretty reliable I'd say.

360 failure threads bring out the worst in people. No, it won't be 50% over the course of the year, and I would bet you anything it's at 10-20% minimum now. You've talked to an unbelievably small percentage of 360 owners with absolutely no proof that there consoles or their friends/cousins consoles are actually dying. In fact, I know around 15 people, and have never heard any of them have problems with their 360. Don't believe me? Then don't believe anyone else either.

"Bu bu but teh youtube 3 red light videos!" There has been a youtube video showing that resetting your power bar gives three red lights. I can't find it now, but someone on GS has it in their sig.

Same with Sony, but that doesnt stop lemmings from screaming "SONY WILL DIE BECAUSE OF PS3!"

That's amazing. I've seen this topic rehashed 61 percent of the time and the TC is usually wrong 100 percent of the time. Go figure.

If this forum is anything to go by then Its pretty high. my guess would be some where between 15-20%.gameruk2010

Thats probably what it is. Im 100% sure its more than 3-5%. Just go to the xbox360 broken discussion thread and just see how many posts their is. Around 5 new posts about people asking what to do because their 360 broke occur their every day. All I know is that its BS and I refuse to pay they another $168 (Canadian) if mine breaks again.
