hey Mom, do you think they count refurbished consoles in the number of consoles they shipped?
Sure, they shipped 6 million, but could 600 thousand of those be repalcement consoles under warranty?

MS must have some magic fairy dust, if they think that online gamers who play games free on the PC will buy $400 system in order to pay and play the same games that they have been playing for free.

Yup, getting those gamers will be a key to the 360's success. Unfortunately, the key to getting those games is to have a huge collection of free online games, as most are probably not willing to pay for them.
