Just testing the internet channel of my Wii from which I am writing this. Nintendo just made it free!

I haven't read many of those claims, mostly comments like it remains to be seen.

Odd, they seem quite frequent on some of the console sites. Regardless, the point was no one can measure what the word of mouth has done to impact sales, whether its with a positive spin for MS as you claim is the prevailing wind, or negative, as you are personally portraying it. (This is assuming there is not some publicly available study that I am unaware of).

When you say the prevailing positive spin may be helping sales, well thats just an unknown to everyone really. I'm sure some people are affected, in both directions, based on all the fanboy flamewars about this stuff. But its not measurable.

Instead you seem to just use it to try to give validity to a theory of yours, that certain sales figures for Xbox360 are higher than they "should be" because folks got duped or something by what you seem to view as MS fanboy propoganda.

From personal experience, which is not statisically significant, just as what you have said is not, the only RRoD my friends have had was on early units (2 out of 3) and none on replacement units, or on newer ones. Of PS3 units mine, 1 out of 3, has an intermittent freezing issue. Of the other two one is a very early unit, the other one about a year newer than mine,
