Who thinks that the #of 360 owners could ....

be smaller than it appears due to replacements from system failures?

My cousin has had to buy 4 360's due to rrod before they extended the warranty .

Do you think it's a possibility?

I doubt it highly, there are still alot of people who have their launch consoles, even back in 2005-6 it wasn't that big of a hassle to get it repaired

I actually think there are more 360 owners than units sold.Jandurin

How do you define "user". The only definitive piece of data would be the gamertag, which you can retrieve onto your new console.

Yeah, that's right. Even though MS repairs consoles for FREE, every single owner instead just went out and bought another one :roll::roll:

If anything, PS2 with it's DRE issues, and Sony charging for all repairs, that so called 130+ million user base would be the myth ;)

And just because this thread really needs it

I'm sure it is a lot more even than you think.

Personally I like to look at the XBL numbers, that gives a much better representation of how many users are really active.

So you're telling me that you don't know anyone who bought a second 360 to have one while the other is in the shop or anyone who bought a second 360 because, at the time, the extended warranty didn't cover their particular hardware crash since it wasn't RROD? Really?

I had one RROD and used the warranty, don't know anyone else of the 4 people I personally know who bought a second console. I've heard of some people here who buy from Best Buy, but then return it before the month is out for the full refund when they get their own console back. Actually, not sure how that bought-and-refunded thing would work into the figures.

ive already gone through 8 360's and thats WITH the intercooler.Mr_Lube

Yeah, aaaaaand nobody here (of level 8 or higher) is giving you any credibility on that one.

Before that, if your 360 broke, you had to call customer service and talk to some guy in india who could barely speak english, **** around with him for a very long time, only to hear him tell you "sucks for you, you have to pay $170 dollars for us to fix it". And at first they didnt even give you a box, you had to get your own.

The extended warranty hasnt been around for the 360s whole lifetime, and couple that with the fact that MS knowingly shipped the 360 while 60% of them had failed BEFORE THEY EVEN LEFT THE FRIGGIN WAREHOUSE.

The 360 failure rate was MUCH MUCH higher back then as well, what do you think those people did? Oh, and dont forget the early disk tray problems that MS basically said "sucks to be you" to, when your $60 game was permanently ruined by the 360 (the PS2s DRE was nowhere near as widespread, and DRE did not destroy the actual game disks)

I'm sure it is a lot more even than you think.

Well, there is what? Double the software sales on the 360 than the PS3?

I have a hunch that there are quite a few 360 owners regardless of replacements. I think people actually realize there's a 3 year warranty. I don't think people are actually going out and buying 3 or 4 replacements as has been exaggerated that's for sure.

Fanboy alert! Everyone knows that the intercooler makes you system more likely to break, and eight? I HIGHLY doubt you went through EIGHT Xbox 360's, if you even own one...
