2) Gamers booted off the 360 during the mod ban NEED to buy new 360 systems! Hence the flood the gimped systems on Ebay.
3) Then all the RROD replacements. as previously pointed out just look at the comments on the 360 Arcade unit at Amazon, Play, etc.
4) The 360 does have a 54.2% failure rate. Fact. Thus meaning that the majority of their shipped consoles went out to previous owners, and thus didn't raise the install base whatsoever.
It's funny how MS always forget to mention the year head start (year and a half in Europe), and how the PS3 has been killing it in sales since the launch of the PS3.
40% is also not "nearly twice as much".
Let's also not forget how MS are the only company who reports strictly shipped figures, as opposed to Nintendo and Sony reporting "SOLD" figures. Count in the million of people booted off the 360 during the mod ban, who probably bough another console. Then all the RROD replacements. 54.2% failure rate would mean that the majority of their shipped consoles went out to previous owners, and thus didn't raise the install base.
All things considered Sony's numbers look far more impressive. This is afterall the only location the 360 sells at a decent rate and is Sony's weakest area, where it still manages to outsell MS.
