Yes I say it will most certainly get to 65 million by the end of 2011, and quite easily at that.

Heck even 66-68 million by the end of 2011 is a possibility.

Woah woah, you think its gonna outsell the Wii? I think people are going a bit nuts over Kinect success and 360's holiday numbers after Slim revision. Same thing happened for the PS3 after Slim revision and price cut, stellar holiday but it went down a fair deal the year after (holidays 2010 and end of Q1 and all of Q2 was pretty quiet as well). The two HD consoles behave very much alike and I don't think there's any reason to believe that any of the three consoles will peak this year (they already have, imo).

The difference being that Kinect has a given the 360 something that the Move hasn't, the casual gamer.  

I honestly don't think that neither of the HD consoles has peaked yet.  The PS3 will sell like hot cakes once it gets another $50 price cut.  I also think there is a strong possibility that the PS3 and the 360 will both outsell the Wii during the summer months.  But the Wii always comes on strong during the Holiday season.

There is the possibility that the 360 will also see a big upswing in the 2011 Holiday season much like the Wii does.  So its going to be an interesting year thats for sure.
