Pretty much. Would only be ~ 1 mil difference, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be the norm.

i somehow doubt that there are 42 million consoles are connected to Xbox Live
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
well it seems we will get to see some more adjustments next week.
damn there so many adjustments lately but this adustment will make the 360 lead bigger again.

Yup, especially with 25 million unique users... It is in the same news. READ IT!
I am more impressed by the time spent on the Xbox 360. That is sick.
Someone asked where Xbox Live will expand, so here you go:
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

And 50% of those are gold user . So about 13 million players online.

It is more than 50%. That is what MS said. My guess is about 60%, but anyway the 25 million XBL figure is months old anyway. Halo Reach might have pushed this number quite a bit, the price increase as well (people buying subscriptions as long as they are cheap)
Buy yeah 13-14 million paying subscribers is awesome. I think this is the smartest thing MS could have done. Look at Sony: Selling 6 million profitable consoles (PS2, PS3, PSP) and barely making a profit. Nintendo selling 1.9 million Wii and XX million DS and reports a 25 million USD loss. MS sells 2.8 million consoles and reports almost a 400 million USD profit even with the losses made by WinMo 7, Zune and the 70 million R&D for something unknown. etc. Xbox 360 and Xbox Live profits could be near 500 million if you ask me.
Sure Yen killed it for Sony and Nintendo to some degree, but MS business model seems to work well for them. There is a reason why Sony created PSN Plus.

It's shipped. From a company it's always shipped whether they sold or whatever. It'll be something a bit below 45 million rounded up - which makes VG number pretty good.
This is just him correcting his earlier number in line with official MS shipped numbers from their reports.
What's curious is the slip of the tongue where he put 42 million before. Was that his internal view of sold through to customer or just a typo?
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
I love how every time Sony come up with their sales, Aaron shows up contradicting MS's numbers just to say they sold more.
MS: We sold "X" number of units
Sony: We sold "Y" number of units
Aaron: We meant to say we sold "Y 1" number of units
