33% chance of RROD? Who came up with these statistics?

Everybody i know who has a 360 has had RROD,, its a general consensus on these forums that every 360 had RROD (more than once),,, so why are the numbers at 33%? was this a statistic from M$ themself? Its gotta be at least 65% (and 99.9% for people who are even casual gamers).

So, where does this statistics come from?

33% was randomly made up
16% was from a sample of 1000 360s
66% was from a sample of 4000 360s

Take your pick. I don't believe any of them, I just know it's high. But mine hasn't got the RRoD so i'm ok

I did and it's 35% chance, get it right

surverys..........they say resultsm and next thing u know everybody sees it as fact.

anyway were u living in a cave for a year? The latest chipset and subsequent surveys show it is now 16%.

You forgot to mention the part about the last number being the result of an internet poll.

That survery had a sample of 360 consoles as part of it's insurance policy. Not just the new ones

There is no accurate result. MS may know as it recieves most of the RRoD consoles and can compare to sales...

All I know is that I'm on my 8th Xbox 360 console. So those statistics are not far from the truth.

Yep. Only MS knows the real numbers.

You shouldn't believe any of them because they are all BS. The 33% is the guesstimate based on what one single store was experiencing.

The 16% number comes from a company that sells warranties, polling only their own clients, and ONLY those clients who used their warranty. It did not include ALL 360 owners and did not include anyone who chose to directly use the MS warranty.

Not sure where the 66% number is from but it may be from the same warranty company above. I remember in their "report" that the number of ALL warranty issues was higher than the 16% they gave out.

Regardless...all BS and none of it reflects the actual problem or number of failures. Only MS knows that for certain.

There is no real hard data out there published on 360 rrod.

but even with a small sample u can make a fairly accurate portrial of the number of rrod, unlike what some people in this thread think (irrelevent how many 360's are out there).

Assuming 360 are distrubuted randomly to the stores (as in no bad batches exist other then from randomness)

Just using the people i know, all 10 of them (not counting refurbished) 5 have had RROD over the past few years, even with that small of a sample u can be 90% sure that the failure rate is above 5%. even with this small data u can prolly say something more conclusive then the failure rate is more then 5% (too lazy to do this).

i think every x360 on the market will get the RROD sooner or later. 5 out of 5 people that i work with got the rrod once and 3 of the are on their 3rd and 1 of them on their 2nd. 4 of my Friends are on their 2nd and 2 of them did have any problems yet.

i really wish i made this up but face it x360 fanboys the x360 sucks

Why would you not count refurbished?

I agree that it is way higher than 5%. If it was withing a normal range (whatever that means) we wouldn't be talking about it. But using your own sample, that means %50 failure rate. Not that your friends are a large enough sample to be considered accurate. However, I think the only way to get an accurate TRUE failure rate is if we include all the refurbished or "fixed" units that end up breaking.

Using my own experiences, I have 3 friends with 360s. Only one has had it since launch. Of those 3 people, one has never had a problem, the second JUST got the RROD last week for the first time, and the third (who has had his since launch) is on his 7th or 8th. Three people, three different ages, all bought at different times and from different places. Three people...with about 10 360s between them.

The actual percentage is irrelevant. There is just no way to spin these stories as being a good sign or even NORMAL.

i think every x360 on the market will get the RROD sooner or later. 5 out of 5 people that i work with got the rrod once and 3 of the are on their 3rd and 1 of them on their 2nd. 4 of my Friends are on their 2nd and 2 of them did have any problems yet.

Good post. Its impossible to know. No one is going to know how a xbox 360 will perform after 3 years or more of use. All those numbers are BS.

dont be hatin :P

I always wondered that too lol. I dont hate the 360, I still plan on getting one, just later, but Ive always thought those numbers were from a specific span of time, because think about it....All 360s are guarranteed to RROD no matter what. Just because you were one of the lucky people who havent seen it yet, dont worry, you just lasted longer Its not a % of how many consoles actually RROD, it is actually a % of a certain # of consoles that RROD'ed within a certain time span. that number was taken, and publiczed, as damage control by MS, to save the system from completely flopping(im talking literal damage control, not the SW damage controll). Now im not saying that the 360 is doomed, but every 360 Will RROD eventually, all they can do is make this time span longer.

and I dont know about you, but I plan to own my 360 much longer than 3 years, so what 3 years from now when it breaks (Which it is guarranteed to do eventually no matter what) and the warranty runs out im screwed?

I wish they would get this together, I dont trust the jasper, i might just wait until they decide to scrap the design alltogether, and redesign it to be more efficient. I dont know why they havent done that yet, looks like all theyve done so far is shell out money to cover up all their mistakes instead of fixing it. like the sink is flooded, but rather than turning off the water, or for that matter even mopping the watter up, while the sink is still on, they just try to give everybody a pair of wetboots.

well some people cant handle the truth

It has a "design flaw".. So the failure rate can be upward of 100%.... Just be lucky that people are only saying it is 33%.

If it was less than 10%, MS would have said it... So I am sure it is a lot more than that... which nobody would say the true.

Every 360 is a time-bomb, people should just accept it, and also not make a big deal out of it tooEgghead360

You're kidding right? I know (plus me) 4 people with 360's. Not a single prob from either of us. Like not even a scratch on a disk. Nothing. Zip. So no, I don't think people should listen and believe everything they read here on SW. Especially a place that is dominated by PS3 fanboys. And yes I know the RROD is a prob, mostly with launch 360's, but it so isn't as bad as people make it out to be here on SW. "ME ON 7TH RROD 360!!!111". Come on..

Poor post, TC. Don't be so blinded as to think that SW in any way equals reality. People say whatever they can to bash others and praise themselves.

silly rabbit... this thread wasnt meant to be a dig at anybody but whoever puts out these false numbers. Of the ppl I know with a 360 (about 12 ppl), 8 of them have had RROD,, and of the other 4 only 1 of them even plays games. This wasnt meant to be a thread hyping the PS3 over 360 (I wouldve got a 360 over a ps3 had it not been a foregone conclusion i was buying a ticking timebomb)

Any lemming who denies that M$ has horribly poor hardware is just as bad any cow who claims PS3 currently has a great lineup of exclusives.

Whatever the percentage is, it's still pretty damn high. I wish Microsoft would fix the source of the problem instead of just repairing broken 360s.NWA_31
