It's amazing that one pro-MS article gets ragged on by Auron and others...I'm getting a little tired of everyone jumping on the "Xbot" train when there aren't any of the sort here....
But I do tend to think that MS is talking actual install base. As said by others, MS can easily figure out their install base.
Users connected on live (as of today) / historical (or most recent confirmed) ratio of XBL users to units sold = instal base.
It's not that hard folks. MS knows exactly how many people, to the tee, of people on XBL. They know how that plays into their actual install base. Is it any wonder they can comment on the install base and *gasp* be right?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
