bananaking21 said: it didnt add it in the last quarter, it added them in the fiscal year. MS announced that xbox live users topped 40 million by January 2012. yes 2012. so either nobody singed up for xbox live for the last 11 months of 2012 and suddenly 6 million singed up for it in the last 3 months. or ... OR the 6 million singed up for it in the last 12 months. which one seems more reasonable to you? source for the xbox live numbers : http://www.tgdaily.com/games-and-entertainment-brief/60687-xbox-live-users-topple-40-million |
My mistake and OP updated
I was reading the earnings thread amd several people said 6 million was for the quarter.

yeah i thought so, so thought i should point it out. it really doesnt make sense for them to add 6 million in a quarter that sold just 1.3 million. but to answer question in the OP, we all know that xbox lives numbers are so high because it forces people to pay to play online, and thats the main and by far the biggest reason why people pay the fee's, while PS+ doesnt. so you cant really compare the numbers to say that xbox live is justified because it has a higher number os subscribers.
is the logical criticism towards justified? certainly. people have a right to voice their opinions, while some might say the fee is very much worth it, other like myself say it isnt. i wont get into the details why but i do have a reasonable point of view
but is the stupid hate or bashing justified? when people say "xbox live sucks!" or "fuck xbox live" just out of the blew, it certainly isnt justified, also xbox live certainly doesnt suck, the issue is some people dont think that what it offers is worth the money
