Reference #37 is this article.

I don't have proof either way right now, but I'll see if I can't find a source quoting directly from NEC in Japan.

Well, we know what contributes to high console sales these days: the fact that the flippin' things break when you look at them wrong.

There is no question in my mind that at least %15-20 of all PS2s and 360s were sold to replace broken ones. No question whatsoever. I remember working at a game store when GTA: Vice City came out and I couldn't believe how many people bought new PS2s with the game saying that their last one broke while playing GTA3 or some shitty sports game.

MS warranteed litterally millions of 360s during their "nice" period but they aren't bein as nice anymore.

I remember when PS1s were dropping like flies and I thought it was bad. Hell, the PS1 is like a CoreGrafx compared to the PS2 and 360.

You mean like putting your playstation upside down so it will work? http://n1ckn1ck.blogspot.com/2007/12/playstation.html
