Could be their numbers are out of date, but it seems its just wrong (no offense), because Greenburg recently said xbox are at 45mil (or 44) cant remember.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

that's what I'm wondering. Does anyone have info on how those consoles were reimbursed? I know a lot of stores had their own warranties and gave people with RRODs new systems off of the shelves. Now, those would be coming right out of a shipped order, right?

Actually, this makes a whole lot of sense.

When gamestop received a broken 360, they gave the people new ones off of shelves, and then sent in the broken one for repair, and then sold the returned ones as used systems. Several other companies had the same procedure too.

So you're saying the company runs its own tracking service in America similar to NPD?  Otherwise how do you explain where they're getting their numbers from?  For example how would they know the number of returns or whatever in the U.S. unless they're collecting the numbers from a majority of sales terminals like NPD does?
