Logic is failing you here, Shall I call for some fresh supplies?
Seriously now, there are so many different avenues. If suddenly people in general stopped caring about online gaming, their internet connection at home would be worth less to them, wouldn't it? (As an exampe)
Also theres another point, the price someone pays for something has nothing to do with the amount of satisfaction they get from using it. If someone paid $600 on Ebay for their Wii they could enjoy it as much or as little as someone who paid $0 for a stolen console.
And another point, the price someone is willing to pay for something is its value in the strictest economic sense. This isn't how much they pay, its how much they value something. Some people value XBL at $0 per year, some at $50 and others at $100 per year. The people who are willing to pay $100 for a $50 service are getting a bargain, they get much more value from the service than someone who is willing to pay only $50. The person who isn't willing to pay any money for the service simply wouldn't pay. Therefore you could say that only people who are willing to pay for the service are actually paying for it.
Tease.
