Did they take into account the people that bought more than one because they were fed up after receiving defective used unit 4 times or more in a row when they returned them after the RRoD?

It is no where near 4 times since they have 40 million xbox live users, that doesn't even take into consideration people that don't use live. If you want to be picky then Sony sales of the PS1/ PS2 should be cut in half because of the crappy lasers they use.

Most Xbox360s have multiple users though, my friend has like 7 on his 360.
Oh and I've had to get like 4 PS2s due to that stupid laser issue on the PS2.

Uh, what?

I mean I probably have like at least 5 profiles on my Xbox but I'm the only one who actually uses it. Plenty of people will recover their account on another Xbox so they can download their content (not for game sharing, just for if they want to play a XBLA game or DLC on a friend's Xbox) or get achievements. I seriously doubt 7 people consistently share the same Xbox.

As for the PS2 thing, maybe you just take shit care of your electronics. I've literally had one device break on me and that was my PSP 1000. I still have a functioning PSX, Gamecube, Gameboy Color, etc, and those were from my childhood (aka before I "took care" of my shit). I really don't see how people run through 4 versions of a single console.

I don't take shit care of my things, the disc reader has just broken because of it's poor quality, it's happened to plenty of people.
Oh and I still have a working PSX and SNES, everything but my old PS2s are working.
The PS2 issue put me off buying a PS3 for ages.

lol the only problem ive seen with ps2 that stopped working including mine is a lubrication problem. I just opened it greased the little rail that the laser move along and it starts working again.

So yah the grease drying up is a design flaw i guess lol. No bu it depends on the environment its in. Things like dust, heat, dampness etc could affect the lifespan of that little grease they used.

Now for the RRoD Xbox well the hardware is actually messed up so there is nothing you can do. I'm not a fanboy or anything, i've seen it with my own consoles and my friends console so im not basing this on 1 case.
