16%?  That's low.  I'm assuming it's closer to 30%, based on info provided by a MS insider.  Their "Deep Throat".  There's a thread I started somewhere in here about that.  They'd be lucky if it ends up at 16% over the market life of the console.

Edit:  I found it. (http://www.overwritten.net/forum/index.php?topic=3510.0)

I think they meant 16% success rate.

Mine still works, although I really don't play it all that much.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that 16% is low, but it's certainly lower than I thought it'd be.  As for the Microsoft "insider", keep in mind that we don't have any verification that he actually is an "insider" at all ( or even that he exists)
