i think you and i discussed this briefly once here

 many of the people who bought the first CC were not chess players or even
serious about chess
they sold them in DEPT stores ..
it was a novelty..an oddity

so no way did 1/2 or 3/4 of these "mildy interested in chess" buyers send the
computer back,pay another 75 dollars and wait for it to be returned

only the real chess players would do that

my guess no more then 100-250   tops
