i think they are overstating this, when they used to talk about clusters they talked about how many cpu's a cluster has and i think m$ are doing the same here, they will be talking about cpu or cores, each cpu may have 8 cores, each machine may have 2-4 cpus so the figure drops when you talk about the machine. as powerful as m$ are they arent going to spend 1/4 of a biilion dollars (400 4x 300,000) to upgrade live for only 100 million consoles over the span of 8 years (their goal) i think there will be less machines maybe 10,000 for Onelive and leave the others for 360live (as the demand will fade there over the next few years).
just my opinion
When you say servers you mean servers. If you are talking processors, then cores could be considered processors. They may be exaggerating the 300,000 number but there already is over 500,000 servers under Microsofts belt as of 2 years ago, so 300,000 for live and cloud is not such a stretch after all.
