From majornelson.com: [QUOTE] With CES 2010 officially underway, Microsoft kicked off the show with their annual Keynote tonight. During the keynote, some Xbox 360 news was announced. Allow me to sum it up for you:
We now have over 39 million Xbox 360's around the world. Since launch, over 500 million games have been sold generating 20-Billion dollars in sales.
Between Christmas and New Years, Xbox LIVE experienced it's busiest weeks ever, welcoming a new member every second and recording over 2.2. million concurrent members online.
This Spring, the first Modern Warfare 2 content packs will be available exclusively first on Xbox LIVE.
Later this Spring, 'Game Room' will come to Xbox LIVE. This is a destination for the classic arcade games. You can buy once and play on both your Xbox 260 and Windows PC. A new game will be released every week. You'll be able to invite friends through Xbox LIVE and share your custom arcade and show off your personal collection.

39 million consoles... How many of those are duds and repurchased consoles? I think no matter what that number will always be very inaccurate...
I think "Project Natal" will be just a lame fad like the Wii. I bought into the Wii a while after it first came out and now I haven't touched it in over a year, even though its too easy to get games for free.

they welcomed a new user every second? How many of those were re-puchases due to RROD or banning? Of those numbers, how many were free 30 day trial accounts? they have sold 39 millin consoles to date. with a failure rate of 1 in 6 at launch, so really, 39/6, so really 6.5 million less than they state. still a helluva lot of consoles though.
