When it comes to Xbox Live, a new member joins every 5 seconds, according to Microsoft, which now has over 12 million members, who have between them spent "more than one billion dollars on Xbox Live."

Since which time Microsoft has added an additional 3,271,058 in console sales. Doing the math I reach over sixty percent attach rate. Were this rate to hold true. The 360 would need a install base of 33,000,000 consoles to achieve one billion dollars gross from fees alone. Before all other revenue streams.

Absurd I do not think so. I think Microsoft can reach 33 million units sold by next holiday season. That is all of ten million units, and Microsoft moved over three million units in the last five months. Basically they are moving an average of 650,000 units monthly that makes eight million units, and that is not even including all of the lower price point, or a holiday surge. Ten million units is fairly certain.

Come back with numbers not opinions. I want to see some numbers as to why my calculations are absurd.
