Cite? And what is your definition of a "pretty high percentage of legitimate users"?

To me a "pretty high percentage" would have to be at the very least over 10-15% I think there might be a bit more bad publicity going around if over 10-15% of Xbox live users were being banned whilst not having modded their Xbox's!

A "you're naughty, reverse the hack and you can come back"? Well, they might buy legit games for it again.
Agreed they are most likely ensuring those users never come back to Xbox live again or buy another legitimate game. However, for the overwhelmingly vast majority of those users they were never going to buy a legitimate game again anyway.
