Could be their numbers are out of date, but it seems its just wrong (no offense), because Greenburg recently said xbox are at 45mil (or 44) cant remember.

Maybe they're discounting the consoles dead by 3RLs.

But i mean how will they determine which users have bought duplicate consoles, and the RRODs is much higher than 2 or 3 million, its estimated at min about 40% of xbox consoles and at max about 66% of xbox consoles. so it still seems a big high imo.

anyway this dosent matter to me, microsoft considers all those 45mil consoles sold, and imo they are sold even if they're duplicate buys, people still chose to buy them despite the hardware failure. and imo PS3 will outsell the 360 when the time is right, and will outsell them despite all those duplicate buys because of RROD.

One your estimates are way high.  Two MS does not include in shipment numbers any new units (if any) that they would send out to replace any RRoD units. The amount of people that simply chose to replace rather than get a console fixed has to be pretty small when the warranty for RRoD has been very lenient.   The only Xbox RRoD I have occurred happen 3 months after the extended warranty expired and MS still fixed for free.

Yeah possibiliy, but i have heard that there are many people who've bought multiple consoles, we simply dont know how much that is. so i cant say that i'm right, no proof. and we know that microsoft havent covered RRODs for every 360 console, the extended warranty only lasts 3 years i think, outside of this period i assume that users wouldve had to have bought a new unit or buy a new console.

and lets not forget, that over 1mil users (i think) are suspected to have been banned from xbox live because of modded consoles, forcing those users to also buy replacement units or not.
