600,000 is the total number of players in the US & 300,000 of them are the xbox add ons so only 300,000 of them were stand alones.

A: 600,000 players in the US -- 300,000 of which were Xbox 360 HD DVD drives. 100,000 units were sold in Europe. And about 10,000 players and 20,000 recorders in Japan. So about 730,000 units worldwide.

300,000 standalones in almost 3 years! And 90,000 of those were the $99 black Friday Wal-Mart sales!
No wonder Blu-Ray always blew them away in software sales.

3 years would be April 2006 to April 2009. 21 months does not 3 years make. This is 1st grade math for god's sake!

Take a look at your link, it looks like it has been updated.

The 3 key just happens to be next to the 2 key, I'm not a great typer & spell check doesn't pick up when I hit the wrong number!
Oh & by the way, March of 2006 to Feb of 2008 isn't 21 months, for crying out loud, that's 2nd grade math!!
If you are going to slam my typing error as bad math you should probably double check your own math!
