I checked a thread on this site with the article and they said

"With more than 17 million active members, a majority of whom are paying members, Live is a rich social entertainment and gaming experience that is unmatched in the industry."

It sounds to me like they mean subscriptions, since I don't think you need any Credit Card information in order to get the free trials. So maybe Microsoft's numbers are actually much better and trust worthy.

I don't think it makes it any clearer because even silver members can be paying members if they are buying DLC or buying films.

 

 

Well in their defense, a silver account isn't a "paid subscription", which is what they highlight in the "Majority" comment.

I would have to find the entire article.
