Those have all been replaced so the 17 million (give or take a few)
are working in homes.

Most but not all. I have heard of, and know one personally, that just threw
theirs out when MS was initially charging to have them fixed. 1 person I
know purchased 2 and when one of them went bad he just threw it out as well.
Pathetically stupid move on his part. I would have purchased it from him and
had it fixed. Not everyone knows they can get it fixed and that a 3 year
warranty exist.

Also don't forget that there are quite a few more other things failing on
the 360 besides RROD. MS doesn't fix those failures and most people get so
pissed they just call it a wash and throw it out or purchase something else.

If not for these hardware issues I honestly think MS would be nearing the 25
million mark. They did (actually they still are) a piss poor job of handling
these defects.

How many people do you really think would just throw away a $400 piece
of electronics?

BTW. I should have just come out and said more people than you think.
I have recently replaced 8 appliances in the past few years because we had a voltage problem in my neighborhood. We (the whole neighborhood) threatened to sue the electric company and they eventually repaired our area. I would say that was upwards of 4K my wife and I had to spend to replace everything. People throw out expensive items all the times.

Why do you think they call others people trash your treasure?
