This brings 360 userbase numbers down significantly to the 7-8m region...

According to FOX News (10pm TV News Report), an estimated 2.5 million Xbox 360s have been reported defective. This could be the reason behind the 1.1 Billion $ fix and warranty extension.

MS doesn't count refurbed units as sold. They are just replacements.

Well this doesn't make a new market leader, but I'm thinking it woulda happened by the end of the year anyway. Yeah, Halo 3 is gonna get a buncha Halo fans to finally buy the 360, but same for Wii and Smash Brothers, and probably Mario Galaxy.

Actually they most definatley do. MS uses 2 different means to measure sales, shipped to retailers, and "in the hands of consumers"..... which undoubtedly includes replacemnts.
