Chew on these 360 numbers

Gamerscore Blog has posted some very stale corporate Q4 earnings details for Microsoft that showcase just how the Xbox 360 has performed thus far. Apparently, according to the numbers, confidence is still sky high for the console's future. Noteworthy details:

• ... the platform grew more than 125 percent and resulted in 1.8 million console shipments during the fourth quarter. This brings our installed base through June to 5 million consoles with 3.3 million in North America, 1.3 million in Europe and 400,000 in the rest of the world.
• Key profit drivers for the platform include Xbox 360 software and accessory attach rates, which remain very strong.
• The Xbox 360 accessory attach rate remains the highest ever for the first eight months of a console launch in the US.
• By holiday 2006, we will have an expected catalog of 160 high-definition games.
• Xbox Live now boasts a community of more than 3 million members worldwide, with more than 6 million expected by this time next year.
• By Holiday 2006, we believe we will have shipped more than 10 million Xbox 360 consoles worldwide.
• E&D forecasts fiscal year 2007 guidance for Xbox 360 unit sales between 8 to 10 million consoles. The yearly guidance implies that by the end of the fiscal year we will have sold 13 to 15 million Xbox 360 consoles since launch.

Besides all the usual numbers mumbo jumbo, we find that the expectation to have 160 HD games by this Holiday to be rather intriguing. We're guessing the extreme bulk of that is going to be made up of XBLA games.
