X360 shipments reached 8.2m, a record Q for the now 6 year old machine, up 1.9m units over the same quater last year. Providing we don't see substantial drops over the next 2 quaters, this should be the X360's best fiscal year overall. Total install base now stands at 65.8m. For the Calendar year, the X360 shipped just under 15m units.
