Damn dude that was funny lol.
I think it mainly has to do with Halo, Gears of War and Call of Duty. Now you can say Call of Duty 4 is a multiplatform game and that is true, but the main reason that game sold so many copies was because of Live. On my friends list that had 40+ people at one point EVERYONE had the game and played on Live. My friends in real life bought Call of Duty 4 for Live. American's love their shooters, and sales wise that is a proven point.
US Wise there are quite a few people that have XBox Live, and people are willing to spend that $50 a year for Live. If that wasn't the case even with the PS3 and Wii's free online play (Wii being a bad example but it's still free) we would see subscriptions drop like rocks. But people are willing to spend the few bucks for Live.
It's just that simple.
